Due to a sandstorm, the organization of the Africa Eco Race has unfortunately decided to cancel Stage 9 in its entirety.
The storm began yesterday evening and continued throughout the night. This morning, the start was initially moved about fifty kilometers further.
The motorcycles had already departed for the new starting point, and the helicopters took to the air. However, weather conditions ultimately did not allow for a safe continuation of the race. The motorcycles returned to the bivouac after the final announcement that the stage had been cancelled.
