“I don’t want to be too ambitious”
RIDER FACTS
- Jucius Nerimantas has been racing off-road almost his whole life and is two times European Enduro Champion in 2021 and 2022 as well as multiple-times Lithuania Enduro, Cross-Country and motocross champion.
- Off-road motorcycles are also how he learns his living, as he teaches men, women and children to ride motocross and enduro, as well as prepares road bikes for clients.
- Preparation for the Dakar has included two Breslau Rallies, an Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge and this year’s Rallye du Maroc, where he finished a very respectable 25th overall and 17th Rally2.
- Although handy with a spanner he has entrusted his assistance to the highly respected privateer team HT Rallye.
- Young to make the switch from enduro to rally raid, it is a logical choice for a rider who comes from a country where the Dakar and rally-raid is the second most popular sport after basketball!
2025 AMBITIONS
“I could see when I was racing on the Rallye du Maroc that I had a good pace compared with the other riders. It was a tough event but I really enjoyed it. For the first Dakar I don’t want to be too ambitious but a Top 30 finish would be very good. Already a solid finish without any crashes or mistakes would be a good result! My biggest ambition is to represent my country Lithuania in the strongest possible way”
