Nicolas Cavigliasso has reacquainted himself with victory after his triumph in the quad category in 2019 when he made a marriage proposal to Valentina on the podium. The couple have conquered the Dakar together, which is a first for an official couple on the rally!

“It’s an amazing day for us to win the Dakar in the Challenger class which is a very competitive class. We are so happy. We’ve trained a lot to be here, to be competitive and today, winning another Dakar for me is amazing… During the first week we tried to push and to obtain good stage results and I was so happy with that because we won three stages. On the rest day we had a thirty-minute gap. That made it better for us to try to push while being careful in some dangerous parts. But now we’ve finished and we are the winners. It was an amazing Dakar and we are both very, very happy”.
