A few days after the start of the most anticipated event, one of the major riders in the Dakar Rally, David Fretigne, took the imperative decition: not to participate in the competition due to a spinal injury. He is not healed as it should and therefore doctors established that "withdrawn" was the best to avoid further health complications.
But the place left by the motorcycle "Gallo" in Husqvarna team gave the opportunity to Jose Manuel Pellicer. The Spaniard received a call some days ago, to represent the Swedish brand in the adventure that will take place from 1 to 15 January in Argentina, Chile and Peru.
"I was alredy out of Dakar this year, now there is been three days of frantic activity to organize my participation. My only goal is to collaborate with the team in everything they need and stay close to my teammates if I can. After many years spent in Rally, this new experience to race as a piece of a large and big brand like Husqvarna is a great satisfaction" said Iberia.
Barreday Joan, the other team driver, said "certainly, to be part of an official team as Husqvarna is a big motivation" and also talked about Frétigné: "I want to send a message of encouragement to David, I'm sure he will soon be back to 100 percent, "he said.
