For half a year, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to overcoming the disease. After two surgeries and grueling chemotherapy, Nani is said to be cancer-free.

Nani has regained the feeling of driving a racing car since August. But this year, beyond sporting issues, he had to face a tough decision. The Prodrive team have respected the time and deadlines required for his recovery, but despite Nani’s feeling good at the recent test in Morocco, technical reasons prevented him from competing in the next rally. Participation became difficult.

“Finally, purely technical issues will prevent me from starting the 2023 Dakar. I have fully recovered, but at the moment it is difficult for me to participate in the next edition, as there is only a short time left until Dakar,” said Roma.

“I’ve had a really difficult few months. My main goal was to get back in time for the start as soon as possible. I think this challenge helped me a lot. Setting goals in life is important, and this fact has helped me in the critical moments facing surgery, especially in the difficult moments of chemotherapy,” added the Catalan pilot.
