Since the KTM 450 Rally’s victorious debut on the Rallye du Maroc, development has continued at the same hectic pace that saw the bike go from the drawing board to competition in just six months. Immediately after the bike’s first competitive outing Cyril Despres’ bike was meticulously examined by engineers back in Austria, and once they had given the all clear, Team Red Bull KTM mechanics built up the two bikes in record time ready for final shake down tests in Fontjoncouse track (France). Here the whole Red Bull KTM team: Cyril Despres and support rider Ruben Faria, mechanics Roland Bruckner and Sébastien Fortanier and team staff Alex Antor, Chris Evans, Denis Gardette, Harald Leichtfried and Benjamin Melot, the same personnel as for 2010, were all able to come together one last time before they meet up again late December in Buenos Aires.

Commented Cyril Despres, “As always the lead up to getting the bikes in the boat has been pretty busy, but everything has been remarkably trouble free. Testing went well and it was great to see the team as united and as motivated as ever. Plus the tests Ruben and I did at Pre-Sport in Perpignan proved we are as on form as our bikes. Unveiling the new bike at the EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show with all the top KTM management was also a proud moment. Now we won’t see the bikes again until we go and fetch them from the docks in Argentina, so for fans of off-road motorcycle racing the world over we have produced another short video clip showing the bike in greater detail. It’s a really nice bike…!!!”

Tal como os prometí durante la conferencia sobre seguridad del Dakar 2011 organizada por ASO, aquí tenéis mi vídeo de preparación física.

Para sujetos cuya condicion fisica es baja (nunca han realizado preparacion fisica o hace mucho que no entrenan) recomiendo de 2 a 3 vueltas por sesion, y de 2 a 3 dias por semana (siempre en dias alternos).

Para sujeto cuya condición fisica es media (suelen practicar deporte 2-3 dias a la semana) les recomiendo de 3 a 5 circuitos por sesion, de 3 a 4 dias por semana.

Los sujetos que tienen una condicion fisica elevada (siguen un plan de trabajo fisico con regularidad),les recomiendo de 4 a 6 circuitos por sesion y de 4 a 5 dias por semana.

No olvideis realizar un buen calentamiento antes de comenzar( 10-20’ de trabajo aerobico suave y 10’ de estiramientos) y una vuelta a la calma despues de entrenar (10’ de estiramientos). Este sencillo programa de entrenamiento lo he preparado bajo la supervision de mi preparador fisico ( Miguel Angel Rodellar ), en principio es asequible para cualquier persona que quiera participar en el Dakar y que no sufra ninguna patologia, pero yo siempre os recomiendo que antes de comenzar cualquier programa de entrenamiento consulteis con un medico, cada persona es un mundo diferente.

Recordar que teneis que realizarlo de forma progresiva hasta mas o menos el 20 de diciembre (comenzar por los parametros mas bajos y conforme vayais adquiendo forma vamos aumentando las series).

Espero que os sirva de ayuda y nos podamos saludar en Buenos Aires.

Cyril Despres
