Dakar SS1 speed section forecast
On the eve of January 2, during the test speed section (10 km long), the riders were already driving the first kilometers of the SS1 (special stage 1). That is why, at least in the beginning, there should be no surprises or dust, since the surface is solid. At least that’s what David Castera promised.
So the first part of this relatively short speed stretch should be straightforward with no surprises as it stretches out into the open, however rocks and boulders should already be protected in the middle of SS1.
“Protect your wheels to prevent them from falling apart. Don’t drive too fast in the first speed section, ”warned D. Castera.
Organizers note that 49 percent. the first speed section will consist of land, 48 percent. – sand. According to the organizers, the rest will be stones but they are extremely dangerous and can shuffle the cards for the participants.
