2014 Yamaha Pre Race release
With the 2014 Dakar Rally Yamaha  YZ450F Rally that will fight for glory this 2014 Dakkar Rally. The bike which will be piloted by five-time Dakar winner Cyril Despres, Michael Metge, Olivier Pain and Frans Verhoeven, will be on the starting line in Rosario, Argentina, Jan. 5. On his first year aboard the Yamaha YZ450F Rally, former KTM rider Despres put the bike directly in the spotlight. He went on to win the 2013 Dakar Rally, and now has a total of five wins – 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2013. Despres’ record in the world’s toughest endurance race is only beaten by fellow Frenchman Stéphane Peterhansel, who has six Dakar victories, all taken with Yamaha.

 Other Yamaha riders were successful in 2013 Dakar, also. Pain led overall from the fourth to the end of the seventh stage before handing over control to fellow Yamaha rider David Casteu going into the rest day. Casteu claimed a stage win on the fifth stage and Dutchman Verhoeven took the 12th stage. Despres was key in the development of the 2014 YZ450F Rally, and from the time of signing with Yamaha at the beginning of the year, he combined his Dakar experience with Yamaha’s technical expertise to create an optimal platform. In addition to running through Argentina and Chile, this year’s Rally will provide a new challenge for the riders as they leave Peru behind and instead tackle unforgiving territory in Bolivia. Added to this will be two marathon stages representing 2,702km (1,228km between San Rafael and Chilecito plus 1,474km between Salta and Calama), including a special stage of 1,590km (726 km and 864 km), Yamaha reports.
