Relive the race with Stéphanie
EPISODE 0 – Pre-Race
Stéphanie took our followers deep into each stage of the rally, revealing the challenges of the route, the conditions on the ground, and the team’s work behind the scenes. She also introduced the key players who contributed to the success of this adventure. Each episode, published on Instagram and Facebook, allowed fans of the Ténéré Spirit Experience to discover the adventure from a new angle.
In the first episode of INSIDE Ténéré Spirit Experience, Stéphanie introduces us to the riders who will participate in the Race, including our influencers BLKMRKT and Clara CTO.
She also took the opportunity to give us a few words about the specific Rally-Raid packages.
EPISODE 1 – First turns of the wheels
Race day and what is more a special than this feeling for the many riders who are taking part in their first Rally-Raid.

EPISODE 2 – Gaining altitude
Another busy stage in which two liaison sections, 178.33 km of special and altitudes of over 3,000 meters are intertwined, as told by Stéphanie and Clara CTO.
Jérome Clastre, a Raid Category rider within the Ténéré Spirit Expérience Structure which is accompanying him in his Rally-Raid adventure, was clearly blown away by the landscapes of this second stage.
In the Racing category, Alessandro Botturi finished 2nd overall, Mattéo Drusiani followed him with a 3rd position. Attilio Fert and Nicolas Charlier finished in 5th and 7th positions. Our female rider Sonia Barbot closed the day with a nice 17th place.

The final stage, but also the shortest stage at just over 100 km, awaits our protagonists.
