Have a look at a first selection of the most gorgeous shots featuring two wheeled beauties and their riders crossing deserts, mountains and coast roads at the Dakar 2012.
Halfway through the Dakar Rally, none of the four titles at stake have been decided and it’s time for a mix of the most outstanding photos taken during the first stages of the world’s most popular desert race. The opening shot (above) shows Felipe Zanol with surprisingly overwhelming blue behind him during the sixth stage of Dakar Rally from Fiambala to the border of Chile on January 6.
