THE AFRICA ECO RACE 2022 HAS ARRIVED IN DAKAR. As tradition dictates, the 14th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE came to an end on Sunday 30 October 2022 at Lac Rose in Dakar, with the final photo under the finish arch of the entire organisation team.
THE FINAL STAGE WITHOUT SURPRISES ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. During the briefing yesterday evening at the Ouad Naga bivouac, Manfred KROISS, the Sporting Director of the AFRICA ECO RACE 2022, had indicated that the final timed sector was complicated because the tracks were covered with vegetation, masking the traps of the track.
THE MOST DIFFICULT STAGE SINCE THE CREATION OF THE AFRICA ECO RACE
Whether on two or four wheels, those who will emerge from today's special stage, a 456 km loop around Ouad Naga, will undoubtedly be heroes. Indeed, it was by all accounts the most difficult stage since the creation of the AFRICA ECO RACE in 2009.
MAURITANIA STILL AS SELECTIVE ON THE AFRICA ECO RACE. Second special stage victory for Xavier FLICK in the motorbike category. Philippe GOSSELIN and Christophe CRESPO do not give up in cars.
