2025 AMBITIONS
L.M: “Since my childhood, I love motorcycles. My dream was to become a rider. At six years old, I lost my father due to a long illness. My mother took over the family construction business on her own, and at 18, I started to help. For 30 years, I dedicated myself to running the company. My work took up most of my time, but I never let go my passion for off-road. I competed occasionally, but at 47, I decided to chase the dream I had since childhood. I entered desert racing, and in 2023, I fulfilled my ambition by competing in the Dakar for the first time. Unfortunately, on stage 12, a serious crash forced me to withdraw. I spent the rest of the year recovering, focused on coming back stronger. In October 2024, I competed in the Rallye du Maroc and finished P2 in the veteran class. Now, as I prepare for my return to the Dakar, this race is more than just about being a rider. It’s a personal challenge, driven by determination and the will to achieve the dream that has defined my life.”
