The Dakar is the toughest race in the world for everyone, and definitely the toughest in terms of rallies, pushing riders to the limit of their abilities as well as their bikes. It’s therefore not surprising that there are new withdrawals almost every stage, with yesterday’s and today’s stages ending with Joan Barreda and Skyler Howes joining the ranks of riders leaving the competition before the end.
There were no withdrawals in the Prologue, but since then there have been more and more.
So far there have been 19 riders dropping out.
