january 03, 2022 - Gasgas
It’s go time for GASGAS Factory Racing at the 2022 Dakar Rally!
In what will be #gasgas Factory Racing’s third official participation in the #dakarrally, it’s safe to say we’re tackling this one head on! With former race winner #samsunderland and young charger #danielsanders both excited to get the 44th edition of the world's toughest #rally raid underway, #racing will finally begin tomorrow with the event’s Prologue set to determine the starting order for the first proper stage, which follows the very next day.

Dakar #rally shakedown safely completed
The 2022 #dakar begins tomorrow, January 1
With both Sam and Daniel enjoying a positive pre-race shakedown where they were able to break in their #gasgas RC 450F #rally bikes and dial in their set-ups ahead of tomorrow’s Prologue, both riders ended the session confident, comfortable, and excited for the challenge that lies ahead.
Knowing to expect the unexpected at the #dakar, the 2022 edition will mark Sam Sunderland’s ninth start at the prestigious annual event. A previous race winner in 2018, the Brit has an abundance of experience and certainly possesses the skills needed to challenge for a place on the overall podium.
Delivering a highly impressive fourth-place result at the #dakar just under one year ago, the ever-confident #danielsanders returns to the race following a solid season competing in the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship in 2021. With the Aussie ultimately claiming a bronze medal in the FIM series, and now armed with even more experience, he has a serious shot of success at the 2022 #dakar.
Sam and Daniel are now making their final preparations ahead of the short, 19-kilometer Prologue, which is quickly followed by six grueling stages. A mid-race rest day then follows before they take on another six demanding days of competition, each taking them one step closer to the finish line in Jeddah on January 14.
