WIN a pair of GoldenTyre extreme enduro tyres Round The World adventurer in the making, Andy Dukes ponders the solo mission After 15 years racing from one bivouac to the next Chris Evans finally escaped the Dakar, but this year he’s been called back. A good thing? We all need a guru – someone who’s been around the traps and talks sense. So here’s one we at RUST know well… Yep, RUST 20 has gone live with just minutes to spare before the Christmas break. So there’s some good reading for you here for when you’ve had your fill of the usual movie classic re-runs, let alone the endless mince pies. We hope you have a happy Christmas and the New Year brings some great rides. We’ll be hopping it up in 2017 and look forward to keeping you entertained as best we can, so see you again in January!

<strong>RUST</strong> Rally<br />
greatest test of motorcycle and rider endurance in the world. But,<br />
whether you’re a factory rider with a motorhome, or a rookie with just a<br />
box of tools, everyone meets at the beautifully set-up bivouacs every<br />
evening and they sit and chat and eat together. It’s something many<br />
rookies are struck by, as Dutch hopeful Robert Van Pelt recalls: “At my<br />
first Dakar I went into the bivouac after a terrible day in the dunes and<br />
got a plate of pasta, before I knew it Marc Coma was sitting next to me.<br />
I said hello but kept my head down, after all, he was the champ! But I<br />
was shocked as he began to ask me all about my day, and sympathise<br />
with how hard the route had been!”<br />
It’s difficult to know just what wonders Dakar 2017 will have in store for<br />
us from its beginning in Asuncion in Paraguay, to its end in Buenos<br />
Aires. But as long as we have beautiful views, testing terrains, close<br />
racing, exciting twists and turns, and the conviviality of the Spirit of the<br />
Dakar, we’d be hard pushed to find a better thing to glue us to social<br />
media, newsfeeds, and the TV for two whole weeks in January.<br />
