Hi - I'am also doing the Dakar Challenge for a change this year (group 3 - car TBA - Team Rust-ic Reivers). Personally, I'd do anything to give Rosso a miss - it's pretty hassle-ridden. I did try to take the sandy track to Maka Diama before (on an XR600) but didn't have enough fuel and the petrol pump at Rosso mysteriously 'broke down' just as I tried to get more.
Anyway, from what I hear it's a much nicer option - far fewer touts.
Cheers -Andy
