How did you get to motorsport and how does it appear to be your vocation?
By chance! My neighbor was practicing trial moto and I went riding with him, once, twice, … Then I started competing when I was 13 years old and I never stopped. I switched from bike to cars two years ago, after 14 Dakar and 5 titles on two-wheels. Driving in Dakar Rally aboard a car is another type of pleasure for me, and one more big challenge. I am really happy!
Your most beautiful/biggest emotion in your motorsport career?
