What Happens When a Stunt Rider Takes on a Dakar-Style Desert Challenge?

Sarah Lezito swaps street stunts for sand dunes as she attempts a real rally-raid test inspired by the Dakar Rally. Before she can race the stage, Sarah must first climb a steep desert dune, then navigate 5 km using a roadbook, just like Dakar riders do. No GPS, no tracks, no shortcuts. Helping guide her through the challenge is Edgar Canet, Dakar Rally 2 Champion and Red Bull KTM Factory rider, sharing the skills and mindset needed to survive in the desert. From dunes to navigation, this is a stunt rider vs the desert…Dakar style.
