Title

An untimely breakdown just as the last Dakar began left him with no options to defend his title and gave Nasser Al-Attiyah a boost towards victory. Now Nani Roma seeks revenge against the Qatari in his own domain, the Baja España Aragón, where he has already won eight times previously, the last one being last year.

Duel Between Champions

The duel between the two Dakar champions will polarize attention at the Aragon event, which starts on Friday in Teruel, but it also has many other attractions. It will be the debut of Mikko Hirvonen, another one who moves from rally to desert racing, with Mini, a team that will also have Orly Terranova as a favorite, and that will have Vasilyev and Al-Qassimi's Toyotas as their main rivals.

Debut and National Protagonists

It will also be the debut of Albert Llovera with his new BMW X5, and we will have all the protagonists of the National Championship led by Rubén Gracia's Mitsubishi, a new Dakar participant. But perhaps the cameras will focus on the Buggy Herrator number 25, piloted by the television personality Jesús Calleja, who will have Albert Rivera, Ciudadanos candidate for the presidency of the Government, as his co-pilot.

Motorcycles

Gerard Farrés defends his title in the Baja with his new KTM from the Himoinsa team, and perhaps he will have to face the queen of the desert, Laia Sanz, who will surely try to be as high as possible with her official KTM. More than three hundred participants endorse this edition of the Baja as the largest in the history of the event.
