Hey guys.

This year, the Dakar rally will take place in South America, travelling more than 9.000 km in Argentina and Chile.

The adventure will begin on January 3rd and end on January 18, both start and final arrival are set to be in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina.

There will be 235 competitors only in motorcicle, 29 in quads, 194 in cars, 84 in trucks. In bikes, KTM is the widely preferred brand, and there's an interesting participation from China, as a first time, with 3 pilots:

- number 149, Zhiheng LI
- number 209, Jianguo CHEN
- number 210, Guanghui WEI

The first pilot is riding a KTM bike, but the other two are riding Jincheng bikes, using each one a 250cc bike. Looks like a copy of a XR 250.




Well, i'll try to keep you informed...



Interviewer:
"We're here with Nestor, who will present us the official Jincheng team from China. They're racing in the Dakar Rally 2009, in Argentina and Chile. Please, introduce the pilots"

Nestor:
"The first pilot is named Wei, the other one is named Chen, they're the first from China and this is our first time on the Dakar, and we expect to use this chance."

Interviewer:
"You told me that the bikes were a new 2009 model"

Nestor:
"yes, that's right"

Interviewer:
"well then, congratulations and i hope you have a nice race"

Nestor:
"thank you very much"
