Well at least geographically Saudi Arabia is closer to Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal than Latin America was :D

At least there's no suggestion it has anything to do with Paris anymore nowadays

All top riders are there, so it's going to be another great addition  

 

I like it being in the Saudis. It's not having the passion of Latin America or the magnitude of original Paris-Dakar. But it's going to a place, which is not that well known, which i find very fascinating. You can't just go to SA on a weekend trip. And to go inside and around such a secretive country is interesting to me (Yes i know it's mostly deserts )
