In particular at the sunrise and the sunset, when the light reveals all recesses and static waves of the dunes stretching far into the horizon. There is no better place to get ready for the new season,\u2019 said the six-times winner of the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>This place is not a random place, of course. It is the United Arab Emirates that will be the venue of the first round of the new series. Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge begins on 1 April, so Rafa\u0142 Sonik must choose&#8230; his quad by the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Usually, I drive my Honda during the first two desert rounds. Mainly because of the independent rear suspension and a larger gap. However, most of my rivals drive Raptors \u2013 and I use them in Chile, in Morocco, and during Dakar. I decided to test both machines and perhaps I\u2019ll drive Yamaha throughout the entire season,\u2019 said Sonik.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 Dakar winner has until 30 March to decide \u2013 this is when the administrative check-ups before Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge begin.
