Only 11 months to go Werner. :deal:

Can't go riding today, so I thought it was time to start the new thread. :laughing7:

There were rumors that it was going to come to southern Africa, but I think those rumors were deliberately put out there to ensure the debacle of this year´s last minute changes (Peru & Chile out) do not happen again.

So here is is what is on the menu according to those who spoke to Ettienne towards the end of the 2016 Dakar.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay

Brazil for me is the one country that will be great. There is some really nice riding out there, and dunes as well, if they start in Natal province. :deal: Uruguay and Paraguay are both quite flat and semi tropical so I´m not quite sure how they would fit in. Even ifs it a couple of WRC style stages, the countries will be super supportive I think.

So I´m thinking a start in Brazil with 3 stages,
Uruguay one stage.
Bolivia will be rewarded with 3 stages, maybe 4.
Chile 3 stages
Argentina 3 stages, with a finish in Rosario. :ricky:
