Annual Tournament
Anri Jacobs
Between 4 and 12 January the annual rider's tournament was held in Swakopmund. This year marked th the 57 Tournament held by the Swakopmund Reiterverein. Overall 90 riders took part in the event, most of whom are made up of the coastal riders as well as some from the inland. They also had 6 riders from Germany present at the tournament. For this tournament the course designer for the jump division was Heiko Wahlers. All of the riders dressed in official attire, and paraded with their horses through the streets of Swakopmund. The Mayor of Swakopm u n d , J u u s o Kambueshe joined the riders in the parade to mark the official opening of the 57 t h tournament.
Fourth Dakar for Coma The toughest Dakar held in South America, with just 204 vehicles (78 motorcycles, 15 quads, 61 cars and 50 trucks, or 47% of those that started) making it to the finish, was dyed in the red and yellow colours of Catalonia. With Marc Coma and Jordi Viladoms taking the top two places in the motorcycle category and Nani Roma winning in a car race ten years to the day after doing so on a motorcycle, the Catalan contingent blew the competition away in the 2014 edition. Behind the two KTM riders, Frenchman Olivier Pain rounded off the podium after fending off the late attacks of his leader, Cyril Despres. In the car category, Nani Roma topped the Mini 12-3 with a narrow 5'38 margin over Peterhansel, becoming the third competitor to win in a car after triumphing on a motorcycle. 26-yearold Ignacio Casale also put his name on the prestigious list of winners, as the young quad rider took a home win that will surely earn him a thunderous ovation on the podium in Valparaíso. In the truck category, Russian Andrey Karginov held on to his lead over Gerard de Rooy by a hair's breadth. The 36th edition of the biggest rally raid in the world started with a surprise, as Portugal's Carlos Sousa grabbed his sixth Dakar win and the first for Chinese manufacturer Haval. The overall winner's name was anybody's guess until the thirteenth and final special. The impressive performances of the SMG buggy driven by Carlos Sainz, who won two specials and led the overall after stage 4 but was forced to go home after a silly crash in the link section of stage 10; Giniel de Villiers, as consistent as ever, becoming the only driver able to take the fight to the Minis until the very end; and the controversy generated by X-raid's team orders for the last three days; the 2014 Dakar will go down in history as a unique edition! Ignacio Casale takes the quad race! The evening after stage 2, the defending champion summed up the ferocious battle raging in the quad race. "The Dakar's just begun", said Marcos Patronelli after winning the stage and moving into the overall lead. Ignacio Casale had seized the lead in both classifications at the end of the preceding stage, from Rosario to San Luis. The Argentinean star dropped out the next day during the hottest stage in Dakar history, probably as a result of his high-intensity clash with the Chilean. The quad race is getting more and more competitive, as proven by the fact that d
Casale still had to see off the repeated onslaught of Rafa³ Sonik and Sergio Lafuente. The Pole slowly run out of steam when faced with the leader's robust defence, while the Uruguayan had to go home after his engine broke down during stage 11. Casale only wrapped up his Chilean-style win towards the end of a rally that revealed Sebastian Husseini's fighting spirit. The Dutchman was rewarded with the bottom step of the podium. Qatari Mohammed Abu-Issa took fourth place, with promising rookie Víctor Gallegos rounding off the top 5. Franco-Italian Camelia Liparoti played her hand well again, finishing 13th out of 15 finishers and 40 starters. Finally, the clash of titans between Iveco and Kamaz will have been a close one until the very end. Although the Russian team seized the overall lead from the get-go with Ayrat Mardeev and was still in the pole position with Andrey Karginov twelve stages later as the race came Valparaíso, the outcome of the 36th Dakar was full of suspense, reminiscent of some of the memorable battles seen in the motorcycle and quad categories over the last few years. Kamaz's Andrey Karginov seemed set to take a win earned on the Chilean sands, but one obstacle blocked his way in the last special. Car no. 319 swerved and ended up stuck on the track of the last timed sector, just in front of the Russian, who lost 10 minutes. Meanwhile, his closest pursuer and winner of the previous stage Gerard de Rooy used his starting order to slip ahead. All in all, Karginov lost 9'34 to the Dutchman. However, race officials deducted 5'20 from the time of the no. 306 Kamaz, handing Russia's Andrey Karginov his first Dakar win by 3'11 over Gerard de Rooy. Behind them, the other Kamazes hogged places 3 to 5, with defending champion Eduard Nikolaev, Dmitry Sotnikov and Anton Shibalov. It is a pity that this awesome edition had to go without the fireworks of Pieter Versluis, Martin Kolomý and Ayrat Mardeev, who had to drop out in stages 10, 9 and 3, respectively, while Aleš Loprais' Dakar was a mixed bag, with the Czech driver finishing in sixth place, over five hours off the pace.
