Bultaco Frontera for Dakar 2013

Some may recall Ignacio Chivite's valiant attempt at the 2011 Dakar Rally on a 1978 Bultaco Frontera. Unfortunately after three consecutive nights without any sleep, and some niggling fuel leaks and electrical problems Ignacio had to withdraw after six days of competition. 

However Ignacio is not a hombre to give up easily. He's back (#169) with his Bultaco to tackle the Dakar again in 2013. Apparently he's returning with a better race plan, and more support. He's also been working on his fitness.

Vinduro Victoria wishes him all the best in 2013. For any Spanish speakers, check out his profile on the official Dakar website:
