The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised against the organisation of the 10th and 11th stages of the 29th edition of the Dakar. The rally organisers, who resolved to follow the recommendations of the Ministry, have thus decided to cancel the two Nema-Timbuktu and Timbuktu-Nema stages, programmed for the 16th and 17th of January 2007. In spite of the extensive surveillance and the guarantees provided by the Mali authorities, this precautionary measure is vital in safeguarding the security of the competitors.
Initially planed in Timbuktu, the appointment with Mali where the welcome of the spectators confirms the interest of the nation’s leaders for the Dakar, will be pushed two days later.
The sporting teams of the rally having considered an alternative solution, a loop stage Nema-Nema, including a timed sector of 376 kilometres, will be organised on the 16th of January. The following day, the competitors will enjoy half a rest day, and will then take to the road for a liaison stage of approximately 280 km towards Ayoun-el-Atrous (Mauritania), where the start of the stage will be given on the 18th January, towards Kayes (Mali).

Hi,
Thank you Tamas!
I corrected the legs due to the latest organization changes. We also have one more tolerance day on the beginning of the first three legs to help some pilots to catch up.
The HTML page has beed updated.
Also, tomorrow I will receive the tail id's from Robert, and will send all the emails to all the signed up pilots ;)
We are also testing the new Lisbon-Dakar Beech. I can tell you it's going to have a spectacular texture! And there will be a special PMDG version too ;)
