SEASON 2025: A New Chapter

The year 2025 marks an exciting shift in my journey toward the ultimate goal: the Dakar Rally. After years of competing in the Italian and European championships, I’ve decided to redirect my energy and focus entirely on what lies ahead in the desert.

This season, I’ll be trading the tracks of Europe for the sands of Africa, dedicating my time to intensive training in Morocco, Tunisia, and Abu Dhabi. My goal is clear: mastering the dunes, navigating the vast desert landscapes with precision, and building the endurance and mental strength required for the world’s toughest rally.

I’ll also participate in select smaller rallies that challenge me in ways similar to Dakar. These events will serve as the perfect proving ground to fine-tune my skills, test my limits, and ensure I’m prepared for the legendary race.

With the Dakar 2027 dream on the horizon, every mile I ride in 2025 is a step closer to the ultimate adventure. Stay tuned as I take on the desert with passion, grit, and determination. The road to Dakar continues!

ROAD TO DAKAR
2027

As a late starter on the motorcycle, I was told what all I can not do. But what they did not know: "Everything is jessible"! I'm a person who does everything with 100% focus and passion, because that's how I get the most enjoyment out of it and anything else would be a waste of life for me.

The Dakar is the ultimate race for me with the demands on driving skills, navigation, management of energy reserves as well as the mental challenges.

The Dakar is a race where you can never predict what will happen, what result you can achieve or if you will even finish the 14 days and 8000 km race. My goal is to prepare as well as possible. That's why I don't want to rush into anything, and I want to see my training through to 2026.

PREPERATION

To perfect my navigation and increase speed in 2025, I’ll focus on desert training and motocross, improving my speed, control, and technical abilities. The intensity and precision of motocross will complement desert training, ensuring I’m prepared for high-speed challenges.

Beyond bike training, I will also take in an Ironman triathlon to push my physical and mental endurance to the next level, ensuring I’m fully prepared for the demands of the Dakar.

I’ll participate in select smaller rallies in Africa to test my skills under competitive conditions and gain valuable experience for the Dakar Rally. Every moment of preparation is focused on making me stronger, faster, and ready for the ultimate challenge.

QUALIFICATION

There will be two races of the FIM World Rally-Raid Championship in which I will participate in order to qualify for the Dakar.

ABU DHABI DESERT CHALLENGE

March 2026

One of the most prestigious international cross-country rallies in the world. A five-day race with over 2000 km and 100 m high dunes. A race that gives riders a good taste of a typical Dakar week.

RALLY DU MAROC

October 2025 & 2026

Morocco, the country of the Rally Raid, offers a great variety of terrain. The 1600km special stage will be completed in five days of racing. With difficult navigation and demanding routes, this is the last chance to prove that I'm ready for the big Dakar Rally. I have already finished 3rd in 2021.

THE RACE

Dakar always takes place in January. At the moment it is not yet clear where Dakar 2027 will take place, because it usually changes the country every 5 years and there is no official announcement until today.

What we do know is that we will have around 14 days of riding and more than 5000km of special stage with a high percentage of dunes. In addition, there will be up to 450km of connecting roads every day, which will result in an estimated 10 hours or more of riding time per day.

I'll start in the Rally2 class with a service team behind me. This gives me more time to rest, a lower risk of crashes and I can concentrate on maintaining a good speed.

Corporate

COOPERATION & SPONSORING

Rallies fascinate people all over the world. The Dakar Rally, for example, gets huge attention with over 1 billion TV viewers from 190 countries. By becomming a Sponsor you will boost the visibility of your company thanks to the different communication tools available: TV, Website, Social Networks, local and international press.

Even away from the big events and throughout my entire Road to Dakar, you will find regular articles on social networks and newspapers like moto.it. In addition, there will be dedicated promotions on my channels to put your brand and products in the spotlight.

It is important for me to be able to give something back. I want my partners to enter into a collaboration that adds value for them. How about a speaker or stunt driver for your next corporate event or trade show? Maybe a personal training session or a tour in the desert as an incentive for your employees?
