Road to Dakar

The Journey From Today to the Start Line

Finishing Dakar isn't a one‑year project. It's a multi‑year transformation — physically, mentally, mechanically, and financially. This is my roadmap from now until the moment I roll onto the start podium.

2026 — Foundation Year

This year is about building the base: fitness, navigation, mechanical skills, and early rally experience.

Focus Areas

• Navigation mastery — roadbook, compass, terrain reading

• Mechanical training — full engine and chassis teardown

• Endurance conditioning — long‑duration riding and heat adaptation

• Entry‑level rally events — learning the rhythm of multi‑day racing

2027 — Qualification & Development

This is the year where everything becomes real. Bigger rallies, tougher terrain, and the first true tests of Dakar‑level endurance.

Focus Areas

• International rally events

• Bike build finalization

• Sleep‑deprivation training

• High‑speed desert navigation

This is also the year I aim to secure Dakar qualification.

2028 — The Dakar Year

The final stretch. The year where preparation becomes execution.

Focus Areas

• Final shakedown rallies

• Logistics and shipping

• Mental conditioning

• Arrival in Saudi Arabia

• The Dakar Rally — Malle Moto class

This is where the dream becomes reality.
