I just competed in the toughest Dakar in many years. Last month I was in South America onboard my KTM 450 RR. It was the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. Of the 180 starters in the bikes only 78 finished, unfortunately Eric Palante from Belgium lost his life and of the 78 finishers I finished 39th, not bad for a rookie in his first Dakar.
I never did find sponsorship-I tried very hard but it is harder to find support, so I fronted the 120k needed myself, and I did it on a budget. But I can say to fulfill a life long dream and finish the Dakar was worth every cent.
So never give up right-anything is possible

Awesome, congratulations! You have fulfilled your dream. That show us again nothing is impossible if you try it hard enough.
