...yes, it's begun. The circus has left Lisbon and will take a few more days before they hit the deserts in Africa. Volkswagen has so many Touaregs in the race this year, it looks they want to win whatever the cost, they even entered an American team. Beating the Mitsubishi's and Luc Aphand will be a major achievement. Kleinschimdt has switched to the diesel BMW that did very well last time. For the bikes, nobody seems to be able to challenge KTM, aswell as Kamaz for the trucks. Cann't wait for those helicopter camera shots over de Sahara...
