DAKAR 2012: ITS PERU!
As the condor (rather than the crow) flies, almost 5,000 kilometres separate Mar del Plata from Lima. In 2012, the Dakar will be staging a pan-American adventure of more than 9,000 kilometres in total. Unlike previous year’s loops, the route will transport the rally from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to those of the Pacific, enabling its competitors to discover new lands and another aspect of South America. The scale of this challenge has also led to a change in the race’s format, which will include 14 days of racing in 2012. Constantly guided by the Andes Mountain range, the drivers and riders will be crossing the Atacama, and will experience in particular the diversity of the dunes as they head into Peru.
TREE COUNTRIES: ARGENTINA - CHILE - PERU
THE WINNER
DAKAR ARGENTINA - CHILE - PERU 2012
Competitors Car :
Stephane Peterhansel (FRA)
and
Jean Paul Conttret (FRA)
IT IS CRUCIAL FOR US TO NOT THINK THE RACE IS ALREADY WON
Teenage skateboard champion, Stéphane Peterhansel began his learning period in rally-raid, which led him to victory on the 1991 Dakar. With his trusty blue bandana, Peterehansel won six times in eight years aboard a Yamaha. His motorcycle experience quickly paid off in his re-conversion to four wheels with a 7th place result in his first go and was followed by a runner-up finish the following year alongside co-driver Jean-Paul Cottret. In 2004 it all came together and “Peter” joined Hubert Auriol as only the second competitor to triumph both in the motorcycle and car divisions. The “Mitsu” story continued with two more victories, in 2005 and then again in 2007. After the withdrawal of the Japanese carmaker, Peterhansel joined X-Raid, but the 10th title he was chasing seemed out of reach. To erase the frustration of two consecutive 4th place finishes, he is now counting on a Mini that he hopes will be reliable on a route expected to feature more sand.
"Ever since the Dakar has been held in South America, we have been a lot less lucky, but it has nothing to do with the terrain. It's the race and you have to accept that you are not systematically in contention. In any case, this does make me want to get my revenge and it pushes me to be even more attentive to all aspects. This year we made the car a lot better. It is faster and it is also stabilized. We won in Abu Dhabi but we experienced some problems on the Silk Way Rally with a fuel system problem. But everything that didn't work right has been repaired and we found the solutions. We hope no new issues arise. But in 25 years of motor racing, I have lost many races due to a 15 cent part. Maybe we are the favourite, but I often think back to 1998 when Yamaha pulled out of the motorcycle class, apparently leaving KTM to dominate. And in the end, it was BMW that won. So, it is crucial for us not to think the race is already won.”

Rosella ( Marco Mom ) says: "Non piangete, non piangete per lui. Marco non avrebbe mai voluto vedervi piangere." ( Jangan menangis, Jangan menangis untuk Dia. Marco tak akan pernah ingin melihat kalian menangis )
“I would like to give my condolences to Marco’s family, fans, teams and staff.”
“Rest in peace Marco.”( Hiroshi Aoyama )
"I don’t know what to say on a day like today ... Only that you will be
missed - rest in peace Marco."( Jorge Lorenzo )
Ben Spies, shared: "Super Sic rest easy..."
Nicky Hayden posted: "Sometimes life just don't make sense... RIP #58 you
were a star on & off track we all going to miss you."
John Hopkins, said: "God Speed #58 Simoncelli... Your fighting spirit
will live on forever!"
“There is nothing I can say…Marco was a unique person – but above all, he
was a good guy.”( Toni Elías )
"Sic for me was like a youngest brother. So strong on track and so sweet
in the normal life. I will miss him a lot." ( Valentino Rossi )
Shuhei Nakamoto, HRC Executive Vice President, says "I just don't know what to say; words escape me. Marco was a very nice guy and a very talented rider. Sometimes I was a little harsh with him, for example after his first MotoGP podium in Brno when I told him, 'Lucky podium!' and he was so angry, but I wanted to motivate him as I knew he was able to do even more. I was thinking that when he won his first race we would have been able to celebrate together. Now I just want to say thank you to Marco, for what you gave me, and pass my sincere condolences to his family at this very sad time."
Dani Pedrosa says, "In a tragedy like this there is not much to say. I just want to give my condolences to his family and all the people who love him. I've been with his father and all we could do was to hug, nothing else matters. It was a fatal accident and everybody in the paddock remains in shock. Many times we ourselves forget how dangerous this sport can be and when you lose people on the way nothing has any meaning. It's clear that we all do what we like, what we love, but on days like today nothing matters."
Andrea Dovizioso says, "In these circumstances, words don't seem to be appropriate. I think of Marco's family and all the people dear to him, in particular his father and mother. I also have a child and what happened today is the hardest situation you can imagine. I watched the images and I'm shocked. In a race you fight and push hard and disaster is often around the corner. Marco was a strong rider and he always pushed hard. We raced together since we were kids. I saw him always pushing to the maximum, he crashed many times, but without major injuries, he was seemed invincible. What happened today seems impossible."
Casey Stoner says, "I'm so shocked and saddened by the loss of Marco. When things like this happen it reminds you how precious life is, it makes me feel sick inside. All I can say is how sorry I am for Marco's whole family I can't imagine what they are all going through and our thoughts and wishes are with them at this time. I hope they all stay close and pull through this tragedy together."
