Every rally season builds up to the Dakar. And even in this truncated season, our Heroes have spent all year preparing for Mission Dakar 2021.
The mission builds upon last year’s foray into the Saudi sands, taking riders on a relentless route covering close to 5000 km in the span of 12 days. It will be the return of adrenaline, emotions, fearless performances… and the #ReturnOfTheHeroes.
