Rally Dakar 2025: etapas, recorrido, d¨®nde es y cu¨¢nto dura la carrera
Damos un repaso a las 12 etapas que componen la pr¨®xima edici¨®n de la prueba en Arabia con inicio en Bisha el 3 de enero y final en Shubaytah el 17.

Lo avisaron Lorenzo Santolino y Javi Vega en su visita a AS: ¡°Va a ser duro. Hay menos enlaces, m¨¢s especiales, m¨¢s horas concentradas, m¨¢s cansancio, 48 horas el segundo d¨ªa y el cuarto marat¨®n. La primera semana va a ser decisiva¡±. Y no son los ¨²nicos¡ Porque la edici¨®n del Rally Dakar que ha preparado para 2025, del 3 al 17 de enero, su director David Castera promete una exigencia muy elevada desde pr¨¢cticamente el principio.
Y es que los pilotos apenas tendr¨¢n un par de d¨ªas alrededor de Bisha, epicentro del comienzo del sexto a?o de la prueba en Arabia, los del pr¨®logo y la primera etapa para aterrizar con buen pie en el desierto antes de enfrentarse a una jornada de 48 Horas que puede provocar los primeros problemas. Y seguidamente, a los dos d¨ªas, enganchar¨¢n con la etapa marat¨®n (sin asistencia de los equipos).
Despu¨¦s de un merecido descanso al llegar a Hail el d¨ªa 10, espera una segunda semana en la que el ya conocido ¡®Empty Quarter¡¯, la gran zona des¨¦rtica del sureste del pa¨ªs de Oriente Medio, ser¨¢ el aut¨¦ntico protagonista. Tres etapas con final en Shubaytah ser¨¢n las que cerrar¨¢n la competici¨®n y decidir¨¢n los ganadores que se coronar¨¢n el 17 de enero una vez atravesada la ¨²ltima meta de un desaf¨ªo de los grandes. A continuaci¨®n, repasamos todas las etapas del Dakar 2025.
