Honda Motor Sports Guide 2020
Honda Motor Sports Guide 2020 THE FINISH LINE IS NEVER THE END DAKAR RALLY 2020 CRF450 RALLY Conquers World’ s Most Grueling Rally Giving Honda First Dakar Motorcycle Class Win in 31 Years The 2020 edition of the Dakar Rally, considered the world’ s most grueling motorsports event, was held in Saudi Arabia over thirteen days, in twelve stages covering over 7,000 kilometers, more than three-quarters of which was desert. Team riders for Monster Energy Honda Team, Honda’ s factory team, rode their CRF450 RALLY bikes to six stage wins out of twelve, of which Ricky Brabec won two. From Stage 3 onwards, Brabec defended his race lead to take the overall victory. Brabec, on his fifth Dakar, became the first American rider to win the event, and gave Honda its first overall win in 31 years. Honda first competed in the third Paris-Dakar Rally in 1981. Its first victory came in 1986 on an NXR750, which was followed by three consecutive wins up to 1989. Honda left the Dakar the following year, and in 2013, decided to race once again in the Dakar Rally, then held in South America, with its new CRF450 RALLY factory bike. Despite finishing runner-up in 2015 and 2018, victory had eluded Honda until this year, the 8th attempt after returning to the Dakar in 2013.

Fuoristrada Estremo
Fuoristrada estremo Tabacco e Motori tra le sabbie del Perù la Dakar 2019 L’edizione 2019 ne festeggerà i suoi 41 anni. La “Dakar”, la “gara-avventura” per eccellenza, dopo una combattuta e spet - tacolare edizione 2018, torna in Sud America, ma stavolta si correrà solo tra le sabbie e le dune del Perù. E per la prima volta nella storia di questa competizione motoristica tutto il percorso rimarrà circoscritto ai confini di un singolo Paese. Sono stati ufficializzati recentemente a Lima i numeri del celebre rally-raid che avrà inizio il 6 gennaio, con partenza dalla capitale peruviana per concludersi dopo 10 giorni e 5.500 chilometri (dei quali 3.000 di prove speciali) nella stessa città. Gli equipaggi che si sfideranno sono 334: 167 fra moto e quad, 126 auto e 41 camion. Si ripete il fascino della sfida epica, della lotta contro il tempo e contro le difficoltà messe in campo dalla natura: per tutti i partecipanti, una prova con sé stessi, un’avventura seducente, speciale e magica ma non priva di rischi e pericoli, a volte forse anche troppo alti. La Dakar 2019 prevede una serie di tratti difficili e ostacoli che potrebbero davvero rendere memorabile la gara, un percorso che Etienne Lavigne, il direttore di gara, ha definito “ difficile, tecnico e logorante dal punto di vista fisico: i chilometri si faranno sentire, sembreranno molti di più, anche il doppio o il triplo ”. Svoltasi fino al 2008 tra i magnifici scenari africani, poi spostata in Sud America a seguito delle minacce dei terroristi islamici che portarono all’annullamento dell’edizione proprio di quel - l’anno, la gara ha attirato nella sua storia nugoli di appassionati provenienti non soltanto dai motori, ma anche “semplici” appassionati appartenenti a mondi diversi, desiderosi di cimen - tarsi in una competizione dura, in una lotta contro il tempo ma soprattutto contro i limiti umani e quelli meccanici dei mezzi. -

Retro 1979-2006
RETRO 1979-2006 Préambule 29 ans de DAKAR L’aventure débute en 1977. Thierry Sabine se perd en moto dans le désert de Libye au cours du rallye Abidjan - Nice. « Sauvé des sables » in extremis, il rentre en France subjugué par ces paysages féeriques. Il se promet alors de faire partager cette découverte à un maximum de personnes et n’aura plus qu’un objectif : emmener une majorité de gens dans cette immensité de sable. Il imagine ainsi un parcours extraordinaire partant d’Europe. Le tracé rejoindrait ensuite Alger, puis traverserait Agadez pour enifn s’achever à Dakar. Le projet se concrétise rapidement. Le Paris-Dakar s’ouvre sur un monde inconnu, dans lequel son créateur, Thierry Sabine, apparaît comme un véritable pionnier. Son credo sera alors : « Un défi pour ceux qui partent. Du rêve pour ceux qui restent. » L’Afrique, continent aux multiples facettes, propose en effet cet élixir parfait mélangeant rêve et compétition. Le 26 décembre 1978, s’élance ainsi de la place du Trocadéro le premier Paris-Dakar. C’était il y a plus d’un quart de siècle... La première année Quand le rêve devient réalité... Le 26 décembre 1978, la place du Trocadéro assiste au départ du premier Paris-Dakar. Cent soixante-dix concurrents doivent parcourir dix mille kilomètres sur les pistes d’Algérie, du Niger, du Mali, de la Haute-Volta et du Sénégal. La course la plus médiatique de cette fin de siècle est lancée. Sa particularité repose notamment sur une constatation : le contraste entre une civilisation, et des villages traditionnels aux murs de boue séchée, et le monde moderne.
