The Champion....

Congratulations to Pål Anders Ullevålseter who came in 2nd place at the Dakar 2010 rally.
A great achievement from the Norwegian who has been competing in the Dakar rally for 8 years now. The Dakar rally is held in South America and not in Africa due to terror threats.
The riders drive through 9000 km (about 5600 miles) of though terrain in the Atacama Desert. With temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius during the day, this has not been an easy task for the Norwegian. The best part is that Ullevålseter is not a factory rider as the KTM factory thinks he is too old (41 years) to get a contract. Well next year he will hopefully win the race and proof them wrong!
