"It's really nice. The chance we have to discover places and to meet people and cultures is
great. I have so many memories from South America, people from Bolivia, Argentina, Peru.
Also, the atmosphere we have in rally is different from other races. I think we are more close
between riders. The relationship is quite good. I don't know what exactly makes rally so special.
"Paulo [Goncalves, who died on the seventh stage of the 2020 Dakar Rally] was a really spe-
cial guy and was loved by everyone, because he was really a true sportsman. Always correct.
Also with a lot of experience. So, everybody loves him. I think he always tried to help everybody
and to give some advice. It was hard because we have some lost in other Dakars, but not one
from the top that everybody knows really well like Paulo. He was so close to everybody."
