2024/2025, SAND

​

For me, motorcycling is above all the track, the race, the adrenaline of the starts. But it’s also everything else: mechanics, rallies, walks, and I can even add spirit and rock! I have always liked road rallies with a road book, where only speed does not count, but also navigation and regularity.

But for almost 20 years, I have been fulfilling my passion on the track, in races, going in circles for several laps with one goal: to finish first.

​

After more than 300 departures, I can say without bad puns that “I’ve been around it” and it’s time for me to put this aspect of my passion on hold to launch myself a new challenge, a new challenge.​

The Africa Eco Race

Almost 40 years old, so today I'm launching into the Rally-Raid category!

I have a goal and it is set for 2025: The Africa Eco Race.

It’s a legendary rally, the original “Paris-Dakar”, before it moved abroad.

The departure is given in Monaco with an arrival 15 days later in Dakar. During this race, the driver crosses 5 countries and covers 6000 km in the sand over 12 stages.

​

So obviously, going from speed racing driver to Rally-Raid driver cannot be improvised! This is why even if the objective is the Dakar in 2025, I will have to devote 2024 to preparation and training!

2024 will therefore be an equally intensive year with the program of sand driving and navigation courses, physical preparation and the first training Rallies-Raids (Morocco rally type).

​

During these two years, I want to share the adventure and the experience with all the people who have followed and supported me since my beginnings, but also with the general public thanks to social networks and my YouTube channel.

That's it, you know everything about my project, my challenge!

​

See you soon on the sand!
