• Sergio Lafuente is about to take part in his eighth Dakar. He began his career on a quad bike in 2011 and even won 3 stages, before becoming a co-driver in 2021 in the SSV category. He joined Saeed Almouri and then Dania Akeel, with whom he finished eighth in T3 in 2022.
• He has worked alongside Rebecca Busi since 2024. She has, in his own words, given him back the taste for victory. He finished his first Dakar with the Italian in 22nd place in the SSV category.
• Did you know? Sergio Lafuente is a former weightlifter who competed in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. He finished 26th.

S.L: “I'll tell you this clearly: I don't know anyone more peaceful than Rebeca in the world of motorsports. I was a bit discouraged by the race and it was already work for me, but she managed to reawaken my desire to win. On the Dakar, we're going to give our 100% and we'll see what happens day by day, because it's a very long, very tough race full of traps that we'll overcome little by little.”
