D.O.

• The Dakar has been a passion for Diego since his early ages. He always watched the rally on TV with his family. His parents, Diego and Valentina, also made a special gift to their little boy: a Dakar video game! The rally has always been a dream for him. Diego's dad was a professional mechanic. He made a lot of efforts to give his kids a future.
• Diego is now participating for the 7th time to this legendary race. His best result was with the official Can-Am South Racing team (2nd in the T4 category in 2022). Since then, he has always tried to fight for the top overall classification. This year, thanks to the EnergyLandia team, he has fulfilled another dream: being able to compete in the top Ultimate T1+ category, which he has been preparing for these past few months.
• His idol has always been Stéphane Peterhansel. For him, Stéphane is the person who embodies all what you can imagine as the true Dakar. Since he was a teenager, he participated in motorbike and quad competitions.
• Diego's son Iker loves rallyes, his idols are Erik Goczal and Joao Ferreira. He loves Toyota cars and wants to become a rally pilot as he grows up
