2017 STAGE 2

RESISTENCIA- SAN MIGUEL DE TUCUMAN

January 3rd 2017

The regulars believe they know Argentina, but they have yet to encounter the “Chaco”! In this region chalk-full of history for connoisseurs of world rally competition (Transchaco, etc.), patience and a cool head will be invaluable assets, especially when it comes to the dust. Unless, of course, it turns to mud!

Our British star Harry Hunt finished 10th last year on his first Dakar. Signed up for a private Peugeot this year but had to withdraw due to injury. So no Robby, no Menzies, no Hunt. This is not going to be a memorable Dakar for me!

Loeb still won the stage, he will be pretty hard to beat this year
