Giacomo Guidotti and his group will be in charge of running Luca’s bike in 2024 with Mir in 2023.spanish pilot and spanish man Newcomer Marini and the Italian, that’s the “logical” thing to do.

A herd of camels prevented American Ricky Brabec from becoming the winner of the Dakar rally marathon in the motorcycle category.
Brabec was leading the standings heading into the final stage, 3 minutes 20 seconds ahead of second-place Argentinean Luciano Benavidez. However, at the 13th stage, Brabec first collided with camels on the track, which blocked his path, and in the last kilometers of the race the racer made a navigation error.
As a result, Benavidez was two seconds ahead of Brabec – this is the smallest margin for the winner in the entire history of the Dakar.
The Dakar took place in Saudi Arabia.
