RUST magazine: Rust#26

2018 HUSQVARNA TEs – shock headline: they’re fuel-injected! DAKAR REBOOT – yeah, we want to ride this one, please BON VOYAGE – Andy does a runner (or rather ‘did’) *** Of course Husky have fuel-injected their 250 & 300 two-strokes (there’d have been an outcry if they hadn’t). We sent RUST’s new apprentice along to see what it was like. Have we told you about him?! Also in this issue: the African Dakar experience, today, only like yesterday (you’ll see); and RTW day one – what’s that like? RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it! Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

The medical team is led by an orthopaedic surgeon and<br />

traumatologist, and his wife who is a psychologist and<br />

neuropsychologist, expert in trauma injuries. They are<br />

assisted by another Spanish doctor. Very reactive, they<br />

travel in their 4x4, with SatNav, GPS and radio.<br />

Safety is a really crucial aspect. Every participant gets a<br />

beacon. It’s connected by satellite to the organising team,<br />

allowing the boss to know exactly where is every rider is,<br />

through the live feed to his tablet, such is modern<br />

technology we have this even in the middle of the desert!<br />

The whole raid is also checked in real time by a remote<br />

observer based in Spain. This instrument also allows the<br />

riders to be in contact at any time with the mechanics,<br />

the doctors, but also to warn the organisation in case<br />

of late, but safe, arrival. The rescue helicopter of the<br />

Moroccan army is the last option in an emergency.<br />
