More than 200 people (media, competitors, partners, officials) came up to listen to the presentation of the director of the Dakar and of Francisco Vidal, Ministre general secretary of the government of Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile.

An extreme adventure between two oceans, the Dakar 2009 is off to discover a new continent, South America, that offers unlimited possibilities to amateurs of wide open spaces. The round trip to Buenos Aires, via Valparaiso, Chile is a challenge in which the most enduring competitors will find their way and have the opportunity to distinguish themselves. With close to 6,000 kilometres of challenges and difficulties scattered over the whole course, the battle for the title will remain wide open until the finish. From: dirtnewz.com
