Sousa, another favourite, will start the first leg with a 52sec difference with Blazquez. Other expected riders like Edi Orioli, the four times Dakar champion, and Marc Coma, who’s driving a car for the first time, have got the 5th and the 32nd position respectively.
Talking about bikes, the winner of today has been Victor Rivera, taking a 9.2sec advantage to Isidre Esteve, the five-times winner of the Baja. The winner of the trucks race has been David Oliveras with his Mercedes..
Tomorrow the first leg will start at 7am from the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid and will do a route of 480km until Zaragoza. The first 200km are going to be timed in two special stages.
