MODIFICATION OF STAGES 6 AND 7


January 5 th 2023 - 20:30 [GMT + 3]

. With the rain on the last few days having flooded the site planned for installation of the Al Duwadimi bivouac, it will not be possible to welcome the Dakar caravan on the site initially planned. The sporting programmes for stages 6 and 7 have therefore been modified accordingly by the Dakar organisers.

. For January 6th, stage 6 will take place on the initially planned special, but over a distance reduced by approximately 100 kilometres. The riders, drivers and crews will then take a link route (of approximately 300 kilometres) to the bivouac in Riyadh.

. The next day, on January 7th, the competitors will contest the stage on the route of the special initially scheduled for stage 8 (Al Duwadimi > Riyadh). On completion of this special, if the weather conditions are favourable, the caravan will then journey to the bivouac in Al Duwadimi.

. For January 8th, arrangements will be made depending on how the weather evolves.
