The Dakar is extremely hard and today the motorcycle rider, Pierre Cherpin, lost his life. Our condolences to his family, team and friends.
Juan Pedrero knows very well what is at stake for the drivers. He himself had an accident in one of the stages at 130 km/h which, fortunately, only resulted in cuts and bruises. However, it did affect his physical condition for half the competition.
Today he finished 7th in the last stage and achieved 15th position overall; he was also ahead of his two teammates, Oriol Mena and Marc Calmet. So, in the end, an extraordinary result and we offer him our sincerest congratulations!
We are waiting for Juan to return to work so he can tell us in person how tough this Dakar 2021 really was.
Well done, Juan!
