The 51-year-old South African, who helped Volkswagen win its first Dakar in 2009, remains a driver of metronomic regularity: only once has he finished outside the Top 10 (in 2007), 15 times in the Top 5 and 7 times on the podium.
The last two events (White River and Drakensburg) attracted riders from all provinces including riders from Bots and Nam. We have our fair share of travelling far to events like Rally Raid ! :-)
