The Bearings brand of our partner ISB SPORT BEARINGS tests the reliability of its components in this edition of Dakar Arabia 2020.
The pilot Francesco Catanese confessed a while ago that he would never participate again in the Dakar, a rally in which he has participated 3 times and in all of them he has never finished.
On this occasion, the Italian rider participates with the TMF Racing team and piloting a Yamaha WR450 sponsored by ISB.
The extreme hardness and bad luck had accompanied the experienced pilot, but this appointment really hooks all off-road lovers and you can never say “I will never return to the Dakar”, because it is always there, waiting for you with new surprises and the arrival by First time in Saudi Arabia is too attractive to resign.
Francesco Catanese commented that: “To face an extreme rally like the Dakar you need to be physically and mentally prepared, have a good budget, but also have some luck. I made three Dakar and collected three DNF (Did No Finish). The first time, I was extremely dehydrated in the Argentine desert with 53 ° C. It was my fault, there is no excuse. The second time I was in good shape, but a truck hit me in the fesh fesh and I broke my wrist. The third time I competed in the Originals by Motul category everything was going well when the electric pump on my motorcycle broke in stage 9. I definitely had no luck. The Dakar had become an obsession for me and I swore that I would no longer participate. I waited a few years, but I could not resist the fascination of the Dakar 2020: a new continent, new landscapes, a new route. I decided to go back and have the support of a team that can take care of my motorcycle. The goal is one: finish the rally! I have trained a lot this year and competed in several rallies to get ready for the appointment. ”
In the equator of the Catanese race, he continues to surf the dunes with his Yamaha, placing himself in the top 100.

Cada año, el corazón de Austria acoge una de las pruebas más exigentes y espectaculares del motociclismo off-road: el Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. Con un recorrido de 35 kilómetros repleto de rocas sueltas, subidas imposibles y zonas técnicas extremas, todo ello enmarcado por el majestuoso pero intimidante paisaje alpino de Estiria. Esta competición es sinónimo de brutalidad, superación y prestigio. La edición de 2025 volvió a confirmar su leyenda: solo 14 de los más de 1.100 inscritos lograron alcanzar la meta dentro del tiempo límite de cuatro horas. Una cifra que resume, sin necesidad de más palabras, la dureza de ...
