Al Kuwari and Lucchese at last together on the Dakar
The Dakar careers of Ahmed Al Kuwairi and Manuel Lecchese are closely linked. Both men met thanks to one of Manuel’s videos. The Italian has indeed specialised in preparing rally-raid bikes and he was contacted by the Qatari who was then still a bike rider. From that first encounter led a deal: Ahmed was about to compete in the Qatar Rally and Manuel offered to come and help out in exchange of a plane ticket. That first experience was the first of a long sporting relationship. The Qatari engineer later switched to the SSV class and both men were side by side during the Morocco Rally in 2018 and several other events. They would eventually be bound to do the Dakar together but that took quite some time. It could have happened in 2019 but Lucchese injured himself prior to the rally. It should have occurred in 2021 but Covid hit the Italian just a week before the rally. Before this 2023 edition in Saudi Arabia, both have already done the Dakar: four times for Lucchese on a bike, three for Al Kuwairi in an SSV including 32nd spot last year. At last both men will be able to share their passion on the Dakar in a Yamaha 'YXZ 1000R SS prepared by X-Raid. Ahmed who was, like Nasser Al Attiyah part of the Qatar shooting team until 2015 will now hope to better his best performance.
