Bad weather caused damage on the route of Dakar Rally second stage, so organizers decided to shorten it drastically.

;

After stage 1 was cancelled on Sunday because of bad weather, stage 2 will be much shorter as the weather has wreaked havoc and only reasonable decision was to change the route.

;

That’s why, today’s stage from Villa Carlos Paz to Termas de Rio Hondo will be ended at CP4, what is over a half of the special stage shorter, in order to guarantee the competitors’ safety.
