We had the privilege of attending the Broadlink KTM Rally Team launch last night – 14^th August 2012 – at the 64 at the Palace venue inside Emperors Palace and what a launch it was. The launch entailed the unveiling of Darryl Curtis and Riaan Van Niekerk’s 2013 KTM Dakar bikes.

SA Offroad and Enduro Champion, two-time Roof of Africa winner and overall badass international competitor, Darryl Curtis returned home last week in pretty high spirits following his 22nd overall finish (and 2nd in the amateur division) in the 2012 Dakar Rally. 15 gruelling days through South America (Argentina, Chile, Peru), the Dakar Rally is the toughest, most dangerous off-road endurance race in the world and 2012 was no exception to casualties. Curtis’ 22nd place finish is impressive in itself, but when you consider this is his very first Dakar Rally, well, you really have to hand it to the South African rider. Having touched down at O.R.Tambo to a warm welcome home by friends, family and sponsors – Darryl took some time out for a little Q & A about this year’s Dakar with LW Mag.
