Chinese Dakar rally riders - how are they holding up?



Always interesting to keep track of some of the riders participating in the rally that doesn´t get the medias attention, the Chinese are there, right in the mix, well okay, on the motorcycle category, they are pretty far back, but interesting anyway. Last time checked up-on was after stage 5, after double amount of stages, what´s up with the Chinese?

As of the 10th stage there is actually only one withdrawal that has been confirmed, it´s car number 437, a Toyota driven by Zhao Yongguo. They left already by sixth stage, but in the withdrawal list on the 7th stage.


This means that there is only one out of seven vehicles gone by now, bravo China!
