Back to base: Branch will participate in the Desert Race PIC: BRANCH

Ross Branch dominated the 1,000km Toyota Desert Race (TDR) between 2011 and 2018 and is scheduled to make a comeback at this year’s edition.

Branch is the most successful biker in the TDR with seven titles in eight years. The biker has, however, missed the last three editions. This week, Branch confirmed to MmegiSport that he will race at the 2023 edition of the TDR to be held from June 23 to 25.
