Dakar 2012 - Final conclusion
Dear friends of the Dakar and our team,
with a bit of delay but from the comfort of my home, I am greeting you with our last, final report from this year’s Dakar. It would be appropriate to summarise it.
As you already know, we reached the eighth position this year. Personally, I consider it a success and I value it the same as our second place in 2003 – there are several reasons...
