Dakar 2016
Time has come for a new thread, news are already coming. :)
First, Chili may be out of the calendar because of the huge recent floods. Source is local media who claims a solid source from the government.
Second, Loprais goes to Iveco alongside De Rooy. Official presentation has been done.

Official presentation is on 16th April, I think.
Shame to see Chile is out (almost 100%), they will have a lot of work to do to fill in it's place, I'm guessing longer in Argentina, through Bolivia and maybe a return to Peru?
-
Maybe a start from Colombia ... I don't know if Lavigne found countries who wants the race between Colombia and Argentina...
I'm quite skeptical about 2016 ... Last year Peru refused to host the event, will it change this year ? Not sure ... if there's no Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay ? But less sand ...
