Looks like something may be happening with the Dakar 2008 after all. Following the email from ASO to everybody on the Dakar mailing list, it's just been announced on Spanish news that there will be 3 phases in 2 continents starting 18 April. No more details were given.

On Sunday 20th there was a small memorial service held at Lac Rose the final stage to mark the events demise. :( This was attended by alot of the local entrants and others that were still in the country followed by a blast through the dunes au toute vitesse. :lol:
It would be sad to see terrorism win out over sport.

Mike

I agree completely. The good news on the ground is that apart from lots of security patrols demanding 'cadeau' there is free movement for independant travelers.

Happy travels
