Stumbled across this photo full of friends, incredible stories and memories. Will people look at us, veterans from South America look the same way we looked to veterans from Africa ? Rally will never be the same, I don't believe the world will ever be the same, but I am not sure if it's a good thing or not.
I'd love to grab another beer with Fritz, Ron, Joe or Roland, talk to Sam or Marc for a while

We are sad beyond words to share that our Hero, Paulo Goncalves, passed away today while riding in the Dakar stage. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. A true champion, a great human being and, above all, a kindred spirit. We will miss you!
RIP, Speedy Goncalves.

My favorite idiot made another post yesterday 🤣
put a few stickers of ex-sponsor on a new bike that he doesn't have a money to buy nor to make any new inscription. Some people are just pathetic human beings..

Pay your debts from last Dakar and die somewhere in the corner, EVERYONE knows by now what c**t you are. And if you shall make it to to SA in January, there will be a crowd of people waiting for you

**towningmoney 🤣😍🦆🤣🤣🤣

moments during Dakar Rally 2018

Peru bivouac at Dakar Rally 2018

12 hours before A*O banned drones during rally and 24 hours before some bastard stole my drone away 😂😬

Peru / Pisco Dakar Rally 2018 bivouac from drone

12 hours before A.S.O. banned flying drones and 24 hours before some bastard stole my drone 😂

23/01/2018

The 2018 DKR is over and I am finally home with my family.
For the first time I already have big plans for the rest of 18 and DKR 2019, so stay tuned..

21/01/2018

The slogan of 40th Dakar was "epic"..

Yeah, A.S.O., it was epic to make mechanics to walk 4km circle from parking to get to the podium, only to find out that only first 3 motorbikes are allowed to the ramp, rest goes around and without its crew..

20/01/2018

25th overall at Dakar Rally 2018 😎
I am getting sooo drunk now...

16/01/2018

Thanks Kristian Felix Jensen for kind words, I am happy that bike carried you through the Africa Eco Race without failure 🛵🎉🎖️😀
We'll celebrate when I get back from this Mortal Combat called Dakar Rally

08/01/2018

Pisco bivouac from above. Couldn't fly the drone higher, too much helicopter traffic..

07/01/2018

Pisco bivouac in the sand pit. Half the support cars and trucks are stuck, dust everywhere, s**t hot, but we like it here 'cos of the loop stage. Means we can sleep out yesterday's hangover...
Shane unfortunately missed a way point among other 45 riders, things went wrong when A*O made a mistake in numbering the points and claimed 2 hrs penalty instead of 20 min as stated before.

05/01/2018

Very hard day today at Dakar Rally....
I think we will need a rest day or a marathon stage soon

05/01/2018

Latest Factory map uploaded... check
Verifications... check
Awesome steak for late dinner... check
Super fu***ng tired... check

It's midnight, Thursday and streets are full of local people enjoying life, eating in restaurants, drinking in bars..

What is wrong with Europe, why are we working so much and not living life like people here?

04/01/2018

Shane showed up today, just as I finished the bike, we did a final test today with the team, all is ready for tomorrow and scrutinering
It's really nice to see all the familiar faces around, I've finally met Scott Britnell - Go Ride It, Australian Malle Moto rider, it's been great to reunite with MRG team from Prague, Ondrej Klymciw brought fantastic new truck with Nespresso machine and I still need to find Joan Pedrega and his crazy Barcelona team.
It's countless friends here after 7 years of rallies around the world.

In Africa it's going well and also terrible.
Pål Anders Ullevålseter is leading before Paolo Ceci, Felix Jensen had a nasty crash and destroyed the nav tower a bit too early in the race and Marius Helmersen on my own 730 bike has lost quite a lot of time helping him out. But that what friends do.
On the other side Jarle's Sprinter decided to blow a head gasket on the very first day, leaving them without a service van.

end of report, time to sleep..

Awesome video from Monster Energy / HRC,

15/12/2017

I am so getting the disco ball for 2019 race, my friend 😎 😋

16 days till the start of Africa Eco Race and seems like yesterday that I was there. From Menton to Senegal in a couple of weeks. Having the only igloo in the desert with RGB lights, we were only missing a disco ball, but then again we may have it next year 🤭 Good luck to all the participants, support crews and all the people behind this amazing rally.
This, lifetime, experience came true because of one, single person. Mr Vladimir Kusnier, friend and fellow mechanic and I cannot thank him enough for that. I will drink an Alcohol free Belzebuth to that Vlad 😁 Rally Adventures all the way! ✊
