2025 AMBITIONS

S.S.: “I trained all year for Dakar 2024, but unfortunately, I injured my shoulder in the build-up to the rally. Compared to 2023, I feel my approach to the Dakar has become more focused but also more relaxed. The Dakar is a truly remarkable event and very professional. For every single competitor, it pushes your skills and endurance to the limit. It also requires perfect coordination with your support team. My ambition for Dakar 2025 is to showcase a Chinese-made motorcycle at a global event, allowing bike lovers home and abroad to learn about Kove. I've now done several rallies with my teammates Mason Klein and Neels Theric and I've come to know them better. Despite the language barrier, we’ve developed a strong sense of teamwork and coordination.”
