Appalling day - crashed and totally lost in the desert racing to Dakar Senegal

Follow my intense and thrilling journey of stage two racing to Dakar Senegal on my KTM desert rally bike where I totally forget how to ride and have a nasty crash. I face the infamous Merzouga sand dunes, ride through some nasty energy sapping sand tracks, riverbeds and of course enough jaw rattling rock to make Morocco proud. Oh and of course, my first off, causing my Alpinestars Tech Air off road airbag to deploy. Did I mention I also get lost? Very... Very lost! I was lost for nearly an hour in the middle of the desert, totally lost. I had to hunt and search for the way out. But thankfully it wasn’t just me lost, many racers had huge issues, including the large racing trucks and desert ATVs who have a dedicated navigator. Most of the competitors got lost too!

No one said racing to Dakar Senegal in the Africa Eco Race would be easy... It is no easy task enduring extreme desert temperatures of potentially up to 50°C during the day and -5°C during the nights while navigating through difficult and punishing terrain, staying focused all while fighting exhaustion and energy depletion after racing for days on end. The race to Dakar - Part 4 continues!

Liaison: 11.22 km
Special stage: 382.72 km
Liaison: 30.96 km
Total: 424.9 km + getting lost
