Tomorrow Jincheng Group will see us off, for tomorrow night we will go to the Dakar. Today I am preparing to leave.
By the way, both riders have some desert experience under their belts, having competed in the most current "Chinese Dakar" held in the Taklimakan Desert. Su (151) won that 2008 edition outright, riding the WR450. Wei (152) had competed on a honda SL230, taking 2nd place in the 250cc and under class.
In the 2008 Taklimakan, Su was on a blue WR450 #718. Wei's race number is #522. That thread is here:
