Rally Dakar 2025: etapas, recorrido, dónde es y cuánto dura la carrera
Damos un repaso a las 12 etapas que componen la próxima edición de la prueba en Arabia con inicio en Bisha el 3 de enero y final en Shubaytah el 17.
Lo avisaron Lorenzo Santolino y Javi Vega en su visita a AS: “Va a ser duro. Hay menos enlaces, más especiales, más horas concentradas, más cansancio, 48 horas el segundo día y el cuarto maratón. La primera semana va a ser decisiva”. Y no son los únicos… Porque la edición del Rally Dakar que ha preparado para 2025, del 3 al 17 de enero, su director David Castera promete una exigencia muy elevada desde prácticamente el principio.
Y es que los pilotos apenas tendrán un par de días alrededor de Bisha, epicentro del comienzo del sexto año de la prueba en Arabia, los del prólogo y la primera etapa para aterrizar con buen pie en el desierto antes de enfrentarse a una jornada de 48 Horas que puede provocar los primeros problemas. Y seguidamente, a los dos días, engancharán con la etapa maratón (sin asistencia de los equipos).
Después de un merecido descanso al llegar a Hail el día 10, espera una segunda semana en la que el ya conocido ‘Empty Quarter’, la gran zona desértica del sureste del país de Oriente Medio, será el auténtico protagonista. Tres etapas con final en Shubaytah serán las que cerrarán la competición y decidirán los ganadores que se coronarán el 17 de enero una vez atravesada la última meta de un desafío de los grandes. A continuación, repasamos todas las etapas del Dakar 2025.
