Dakar 2024 will be very difficult but 2023 season was a year of evolution for the team and the victory in the team/manufacturers world championship gave us the certainty that we have a very strong working group in all areas and that gives confidence to all levels to fight for the highest place on the podium, where we stopped with victory in 2020 and 2021."
