Bringing their participation in the 2020 Dakar Rally to a close, Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Team riders Franco Caimi and Jamie McCanney are celebrating successfully completing the 42nd running of the Dakar Rally. Wrapping up what has been two physically and emotionally demanding weeks of racing in Saudi Arabia, the WR450F Rally mounted duo today completed their near 8,000-kilometre adventures by placing eighth and 18th respectively on stage 12 to claim final overall results of eighth and 15th.
A truly demanding event, the 2020 Dakar Rally presented a totally new challenge to all riders and teams due to taking place in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever. Well prepared and ready to take on the challenge with their four-rider team, the early loss of Adrien Van Beveren and Xavier de Soultrait was a significant blow to all.
