QUOTES

VLADIMIR CHAGIN (Director of the Silk Way Rally):

"The events of the last months have had a profound effect on the world, that of sport and motorsport in particular. Nevertheless, the #silkwayrally team has been active throughout this difficult year and continue to be so, in order to be ready for the coming edition.

Next July, the #silkwayrally competitors will discover completely new regions over a route that has never been used before: The South-West of Siberia, the Altai region with its untouched nature and it's breath-taking scenery, #Mongolia once again but in a different area to that of the previous edition, and of course the #gobidesert – an indispensable part of the #silkwayrally, eagerly anticipated by every competitor."

FRÉDÉRIC LEQUIEN (Deputy Director of the Silk Way Rally): 

"In these exceptional circumstances, everything must be done to facilitate participants' organisation.

We will therefore offer turnkey transport solutions, fees adapted to the context and a more compact 10 stages #rally.

One of our priorities will also be to maintain the excellent TV coverage (70 channels).

The 2021 route is superb and unique and the Silk Way will be the only rally-raid to cross 3 countries... Freedom, travel, wide open spaces, discovery and adventure are the key words of the next edition."

LUC ALPHAND (Sports and Competitors' Relations Advisor):

"What we discovered during the reconnaissance is fantastic, pure pleasure! Scenery to take your breath away! A feeling of total freedom...

The tracks are really made for rally-raid, a total pleasure for pilots and navigators.

After Irkoutsk and Lake Baïkal in 2019, the competitors will discover another region of Siberia, before crossing the Russian and Mongolian Altai Mountains that will put them on the road to the #gobidesert."

THE SILK WAY IN A FEW WORDS

The #silkwayrally, whose first edition linked #Russia to Turkmenistan in 2009, celebrates its 11th anniversary in 2021 by crossing the main regions and countries of the ancient 'Silk Road' in the heart of Central Asia.

Coveted by the big teams and the most decorated champions in the discipline, but also by many amateurs, the #silkwayrally has been won by some impressive names: CARLOS SAINZ, CYRIL DESPRES , YAZEED AL RAJHI and NASSER AL ATTIYAH, who on the 2019 edition pulled off the unique feat of winning all 9 stages.

In the truck category it is the KAMAZ MASTER TEAM with DMITRY SOTNIKOV, EDUARD NIKOLAEV, AYRAT MARDEEV, ANTON SHIBALOV, ANDREY KARGINOV and FIRDAUS KABIROV who've shared the victories since 2009, supremacy thwarted in 2011 by TATRA TEAM and his pilot ALES LOPRAIS.

In 2019 SAM SUNDERLAND (KTM) was the first bike rider to win the category on the #silkwayrally, winning at the same time the second round of the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship.
