Bikes/quads: registrations are closed

Only two months after registration for the Dakar 2015 opened, the bike and quad categories closed applications on Tuesday 15th July. Now that all the registrations have been received, the

selection can commence. Once again, many bike and quad riders have submitted their applications to the Dakar organisers. Competitors, both amateurs and professionals, from all over the world have all had to fill in their registration packs in order to be admissible for the selection process.
“Since safety is our number one priority on the race, it is paramount for us to ensure that each competitor who will take starter’s orders next January in Buenos Aires has met the compulsory criteria for participating in the race: previous experience, participation in first-class races, navigation experience, physical fitness, etc.” declares David Castera, the event’s Sporting Director.
Whether they have been preparing their registration, sometimes for several years, with a view to their first participation, or whether they are competitors with plenty of experience of the South American tracks, they will receive the famous letter in several weeks, putting an end to their wait and to the suspense.
Registration for the car and truck categories will remain open until 1st November.
