This is part 1 of a three part series showing you the real behind the scenes of one of the toughest races out there. I’ve entered the full rally raid class, so up there riding with the pros, and it’s a full on 8 day moving bivouac race.
In part one you’ll see what goes into getting to the start of the race and taking on the prologue. The prologue is designed to be a ‘short’ 150 km ish day with a special stage. The times in the SS are then used to seed the riders into the irst full day of racing.
Next up stage 2 of the Morocco Desert Challenge
Liaison 2: 271km
SS2 rally: 356 km
