Dakar Rally stage 2 shortened
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.

More problems are expected
Dakar 2016 has started ingloriously. During the first day on Saturday, a huge accident had happened. Then, stage 1 was cancelled and fears are that organizers and competitors will face more problems because of bad weather conditions.
