DAKAR CLASSIC 2026
20/01/2026
Stage winners! Me and Sammy in 2026 Dakar Classic proved, that even we were more on the amateurs side - we can compete for the TOP spots! Ended in 3rd place H1 class and P7 overall, scratching few times Top3 stage finishes and even a Stage win! For me this Dakar was way different, my main task was to be a co-pilot and the rest was taken care by the team. However I had not only to navigate, but most of the time to coach driver how to properly compete in classics with its time regularity - driving and maintaining average speeds through rough terrains is not an easy task, specially when navigation was tricky and speeds changed often. Happy to be at the finish and bring Stage winner medal home, as well as first ever stage win for Compagnie Saharienne team!
Addax 2025
24/11/2025
First win in Rally-raid on 2 wheels! Couldn't finish the year with sour taste after last rally - so last moment I joined Addax rally for the 2nd time. After rough last rally it was like a true vacation - living in luxury hotel, having your bike and van just outside. Rally stages were difficult, but almost no liaison sections made days shorter. Had opportunity to race against motorbiking legends like Kevin Galas, Botturi, Vega and 2026 Malle moto 2nd place winner Pedro. After 5 days we were in good fight for overall podium and just in last 50km winners were decided - finished 2nd overall and 1st in class!
Rallye Du Moroc W2RC
26/10/2025
Finish was not an option - it was a necessity! Rallye Du Maroc was called one of the hardest races and indeed it was, but I had to finish it to qualify for Dakar rally 2027 - I did it - P47 / 97. It wasn't my rally, in stage 2 I fell after the dune and my bike was run over by Toyota T1+, lucky me - I have managed to run away. In stage 5 I witnessed an accident of fellow rider in the dunes, tried everything to help him, called helicopter to assist, however he passed away... All in all, got my qualification for Dakar, but this edition of Rallye du Maroc left a scar in me.
