DANIEL SANDERS: NO PUNCHES PULLED

3 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: GASGAS Motorycles

With the 2022 Dakar Rally just weeks away, the crew from GASGAS figured it was the perfect time to sit Daniel Sanders down in front of their ‘GASGAS Dirt’ cameras to find out what makes their all-in rally racer tick!

“Sure, he’s a super-fast desert speedster,” said the video’s producers, “but we wanted to know all the juicy details about how and where his dirt biking passion started, and how he ended up making it as a professional motorcycle racer. Telling it exactly as it is, Sanders’ unfiltered story is most definitely a must watch. Check it out.”

WHAT’S IN THIS EPISODE…

Leaving home in Australia to travel the world racing dirt bikes is the dream of many young riders, and Daniel “Chucky” Sanders is no exception. Embracing every opportunity that’s been thrown his way, while living life to the absolute fullest, Sanders initially enjoyed an illustrious national enduro career before claiming Outright victory at the ISDE in 2019.

Then, in the autumn of 2020, Chucky headed to Europe to pursue a new challenge – rally racing! It’s safe to say that he’s a fast learner, earning a stunning fourth-place finish at the 2021 Dakar Rally before securing an impressive third overall in the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship. Not bad at all for a true rally rookie.

So, with the 2022 Dakar looming large on the horizon, what better time to sit down with Daniel. The world’s biggest off-road race is now just weeks away and with a renewed focus, and a pretty unique race strategy, the 27-year-old lines up ready to battle for the win against the best in business!
