 I was at Corkys yesterday and the bikes ready plus he has been doing a serious amount of training so should do well............. I reckon within  top 2 in the class if all goes as planned.

I think this is a great insight into the Dakar from a privateer's prospective

Didn't realise they were different races!

So the old Dakar is now running in S America and a new Dakar (the Eco) was born to replace it running the old route in Africa?

I think I got it......

Exactly, the eco race also seems to lack the class restriction dakar rally now has, for e.g. all dakar bikes must be 450cc these days, i think Chris Cork on the eco race is riding a 950 KTM twin

also they are running the eco at the same time as the dakar, presumably to stop the big budget racing teams all showing up
