2025 AMBITIONS
L.Z.: “With Michal, sometimes we have big nerves but I do not want to start with another copilot, we understand each other without talking. Sometimes, he starts a sentence and I tell him it's not necessary to finish it... When we fix on something with my brother, we do it, we are this kind of humans. We want to learn as much as possible and be at the finish line. Dakar is toughest rally on earth. This is why so many people want to make it. It's like climbing the highest mountains, you never know when you come back. You need to be prepared for the biggest adventure you can find on earth. I will make the Dakar for the next 30 years. In 2025, we change category to challenger, with a Can-Am. It will be our debut in the “big Dakar”.”
M.Z.: “Our goal is to reach the finish line! We are going to experience another great adventure. It will be a start in a new class so we will gather experience. We are a good team because I have experience with road books from rally with bikes. In the Dakar rally, the most important things are being good in mechanics and a strong feeling between the pilot and the copilot. I am the copilot so Lukasz has to listen to me (laughs)!”
