  • Adrien Van Beveren had two big dreams in life: to win the Enduropale du Touquet and the Dakar Rally. He achieved the first three times (2014, 15, 16) in a busy career as a "beach boy". A three-time French sand champion (2010, 14, 15), the northern Frenchman has enjoyed success from Loon-Plage to Grayan, even passing through Argentina, where he fell in love with the Enduro del Verano.
  • After a few preparatory rallies in 2015, VBA made its Dakar debut in 2016 with the Yamaha factory team. He quickly performed well (6th, then 4th in 2017) before enduring some tough times in the following years: four consecutive retirements, including one (2018) due to a terrible crash while he was on course for victory.
  • After joining Honda in 2021, the tall blond quickly became one of the pillars of HRC. Involved in the bike's development, he also shone with his results. VBA stood on the podium of the world championship from 2021 to 2024, as well as on the podium of the last two Dakar rallies. The top step still eludes him.
  • The road to the 2026 edition has not been easy. Van Beveren raced with an injured wrist (ligament) in South Africa, before undergoing surgery and switching from motorbike to bicycle. He then had a bad fall in Portugal, but gritted his teeth and raced in Morocco. These challenging moments also gave him time to reflect, rethink his preparation, and optimise all aspects of his performance. The current best French rally-raid rider will be 100% fit heading to his eleventh Dakar, on the eve of his 35th birthday. And he will still be driven by the desire to make his dream a reality with victory.
