“I'm looking to break into the Top 5 of the Rally 2”
RIDER FACTS
- Konrad is the son of Marek Dabrowski, a huge reference in the polish motorsports world as a bike and car racer. Konrad grew up watching the 15 Dakar races of his dad and followed him during his entire rally career. If you want to understand Konrad's behaviour, you need to turn to his father. Marek's Dakar career started one year before Konrad was born! The Dakar has been present in Konrad's life for as long as he can remember...
- While racing though, Konrad used to cheer two of the biggest names at that time, Marc Coma and Cyril Despres. He became later a huge fan of Toby Price, not only because of his riding skills but also his approach of life.
- For his first Dakar in 2021, Konrad Dabrowski became the youngest ever finisher in the bike class at 19 years old and a promising talent with a nice 28th spot. Just before the 2023 Dakar, Konrad was stuck down with appendicitis and had to give the race a miss.
- Konrad is nowadays one of the biggest experts of Dakar Rally within the under 25 young guns community.
2025 AMBITIONS
“To describe my goal for Dakar 2025 I need to explain what happened during Dakar 2024. I had a really good pace and was on my way to finish inside the Top 20. Unfortunately, on stage 5 I had a mechanical problem, I spent almost 4 hours fixing it. If you'd reduce my final overall Dakar rally time by those 4 hours, I would have finished in 17th position... So, my goal for Dakar 2025 is to at least match that or finish higher. I'm also looking to break into the Top 5 of the Rally 2 and maybe fight for a podium in this class at the end of the rally. I have already started my Dakar Rally preparation. I had a great two weeks of training in Morocco, then I did Rallye du Maroc which was a good race for me (4th W2RC Rally 2). I also have been training in Dubai during one month and a half. In the meantime, I helped others get ready for Dakar in our rally training center.”
