Old timer to realise 41-year-old Dakar dream

“I first watched the Dakar in 1979 at the age of nine and was captivated by the challenge of such a great undertaking. I have followed it since then and finally at the age of 50, I have been able to put the resources together to make my first attempt at it. It is difficult to explain just how hard it is to compete in such a mentally and physically demanding event,” Alexander said.

He will be in Saudi Arabia alongside Ross Branch for the Dakar Rally. He will be in the Malle Moto class also known as the ‘bike box’ or Motul Class.
