Interview

“A top 5 in Rally2 would be a good result”

Michael Docherty started racing motorcycles at the tender age of 6 and at 8 won the South Africa National 65cc Championship. Since then he has had considerable success in the discipline racing in the States, Europe and the Middle East. Living in Dubai these last 3 years he inevitably started riding in the desert and in 2021 entered his first rally-raid, the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, going on to win the Rally2 class. He was back again in 2022 and won the prologue and the first stage before crashing out on day 2. Now with help from SRG Motorsports in Dubai and HT Rally Raid he has finally got himself to Dakar. Since his crash earlier in the year he’s downgraded his ambitions a tad from wanting to replicate his 2021 Desert Challenge performance to being happy to settle for a top 5 in the Rally2 class. Definitely one to watch in 2023.

“Rally-raid is obviously completely different from moto-x and I have a lot to learn but I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve done so far and if it turned out that I had the ability to make a go of it I’d jump at the chance. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. There’s a big challenge coming up for me in January and the most important thing is to get to the end and we’ll see where it goes from there.”
