After 11 participations in motorcycles, Laia Sanz decided to change and recently completed her third appearance in the Dakar in four wheels. The 38-year-old pilot assures that she has no regrets about this decision.
‘I miss several things. I don’t miss taking so many risks, but rather the camaraderie with colleagues and the day-to-day, because I had a rally motorcycle at home and trained every day, something I can’t do with cars. I also liked the tranquility I had in my last years of contract. You signed for two or three years and could work as you wanted, without thinking about what you would have to do the following year or starting a new project from scratch as it happens now. I wouldn’t be lazy to prepare myself again to race on a motorcycle, but it’s very dangerous and now I’m in a different place with cars,’ Laia declared in an interview with Sport newspaper.
‘I would never ride a motorcycle again,’ she added, laughing, in another conversation she had with AS newspaper.
‘Now I look at things and think how crazy I was, that I was lost for having participated 11 times, not two or three by mistake, but 11,’ she exclaimed.
In her last participation in the Dakar on two wheels, Laia finished the race in 18th place in the general classification of motorcycles.
