Laia Sanz had a dominant run in her class for the Enduro GP and Trial World GP. A battle with Lyme Disease slowed her down but didn't cause her steely determination and love of racing to falter. Now back and ready to race, Sanz's next frontier won’t be with two-wheelers anymore, but four-wheelers.
Sanz announced that she will be participating in the Dakar Rally this year, effectively ending her career as a motorcycle rally racer. While she will not be riding to race, even if she is one of the most achieving female off-roaders today, Sanz will still continue riding on two wheels albeit for training purposes only.
