DAKAR RALLY REVISITED
P76
(Top) Laia Sanz
enjoys a chat with
JCR Honda's Johnny
Campbell.
(Bottom) Barreda
parades into Bolivia
at the close of Stage
7 with the broken
handlebar of his
CRF450 Rally in his
lap. The HRC rider
still retained his lead
after being forced
to race the last 80
miles with one hand
– unfortunately it was
the last day Barreda
led the Dakar Rally.
(Right) Stage 8 of
the rally took riders
across the now
infamous Uyuni Salt
Flats in Bolivia. The
wet and freezing cold
salt beds wreaked
havoc on machinery.
