Paulo “Speedy” Goncalves lived a life not
many have.
He was born on 5th February, 1979 in
Gemeses, a small parish in Portugal, and it
was apparent very early on that he was here
on this earth to race.
Over the next 40 years, he established
himself as a true legend in the world of
motorsports, racking up 23 total titles in
motocross, supercross and enduro.
Speedy became a Dakar mainstay, contesting
13 editions of the rally and notably
finishing 2nd in 2015.
He is survived not just by his family, but
every member of the racing fraternity.
Speedy Forever.
