Really cool photos, terrain looks a lot more varied than the african dakar years.
Thanks for the link.

If money was no object I'd love to rent a bike and cruise round as a spectator for a holiday.

Awesome find, thanks for sharing. I notice that the riders are either very overweight or are wearing some pretty thick gear. What's the deal with wearing such a bulky getup in the desert?

The rally climbs to 3000 meters and the desert temperatures would not be hot at the higher elevations.

most of the bulk would be from protective gear, knee-braces, neck-braces, pressure suits, which don't add much thermal resistance.

I imagine the outer jackets would be sized to take all the protective gear and any extra layers as required to deal with temperatures.
They would lose a lot of body fluids if they wern't careful so layer control and how much ventilation is in the suits must be important day to day.
