After a first participation last year in the Carta Rallye with our riders and our Yamaha Ténéré 700, we are back for the 10th edition.
The objective, as always, goes beyond performance: it is primarily about training, for improvements, both for our Ténéré 700 and for our riders.

Carta Rallye Key Information:

📆 Date: April 17 to 24, 2026
📍 Starting location: Agadir
🏁 Number of stages: 7
📏 Total distance: 2,300 km

MORE INFORMATION

The Carta Rallye is the ideal amateur rally-raid, both in terms of navigation challenge with a roadbook, and its unique course. Each year, the level of competition rises, making the challenge more interesting to compete against great riders and teams, a perfect playground to test the Yamaha Ténéré 700 in real competition conditions.

The Carta Rallye consists of 7 stages. This year, the race starts from Agadir, from Plage Blanche, with a stage in the dunes of Erg Cheggaga, to finish in Mhamid. Approximately 2,300 km for this edition, across the most demanding Moroccan tracks.

Our riders in the racing category with the Ténéré 700

This year, we will participate with 3 great riders in our team. All will start on the Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally, the most advanced version of the Ténéré 700 for competition, equipped with GYTR (Yamaha Genuine Technology Racing) parts developed directly in rally-raid.

Our 2 official Yamaha Racing riders: Italian rider Alessandro Botturi and French rider Gautier Paulin, as well as our German (TSE) rider Kevin Gallas, winner of the Africa Eco Race 2026.

Last year, the Carta Rallye was Kevin Gallas’s first rally-raid. After only three rally-raids, including two overall victories in the Addax Rally and the Africa Eco Race, Kevin is already establishing himself as a serious contender, capable of competing with our official riders on the Ténéré 700 Rally.

Two other riders in the Racing category will join our official riders. Morgan Bernoux, also known as Captain Morgaine, after a first experience in the Africa Eco Race in the Raid category, is embarking on a year of challenges. At the Carta Rallye, he takes on the challenge of the Racing category on the Yamaha Ténéré 700, as part of his preparation for the Africa Eco Race in racing.

Finally, Alix Guenier joins our riders in the Racing category for a first African rally with our team, also on a Ténéré 700 GYTR.

The adventure within the Carta Rallye in the Raid category

This year, we’re heading for adventure with the Raid category. 7 riders will be part of the adventure on the Yamaha Ténéré 700 WR, with the goal of benefiting from our assistance package to fully enjoy a raid in Morocco with roadbook navigation.

The Raiders ride the Yamaha Ténéré 700 WR, equipped with a GYTR comfort kit including GYTR fork and shock absorber, GYTR rims, all fitted with bib mousses and a Twin Air pre-filter; a reliable and proven setup to tackle the Moroccan tracks with confidence.

Our assistance package allows each rider to set off with peace of mind: qualified mechanics, spare parts, preparation of the Ténéré 700s between stages and personalized support throughout the rally. An ideal formula to discover rally-raid with complete serenity.

The riders in the Raid category for this edition:

  • Thomas Bardou
  • Maximilien Berger
  • Franck Coudert
  • Yann Duprey
  • Guilhem Fenot
  • Lucas Robert
  • Pascal Robert

Yann Duprey, after the Carta Rallye 2025 alongside us in the Racing category, then the Africa Eco Race, will accompany our Raiders for this edition.

Technical and administrative checks on April 17, race start on April 18.

Stories. And roads that lead to hope.

Behind every twist of the throttle, there’s often more than just a quest for speed.
There are lives.

At the Yamaha Ténéré Rally Team, we ride for performance, for extreme challenges, for the dust, and for the passion… but also for a cause close to our hearts: access to healthcare in the most remote parts of Africa.

And that’s where one of our most inspiring partners comes into play: Riders for Health.

🏍 Riders for Health: Motorcycles that save lives

For over 30 years, Riders for Health has been riding the rugged trails of The Gambia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Lesotho.
Their mission? To ensure reliable access to healthcare services, even where no other vehicle can go.
 How? With robust Yamaha AG100 motorcycles, capable of taking on the toughest terrain.

Vaccinations, maternal care, malaria treatment… all made possible because a healthcare worker could reach a remote village, by motorcycle.

🔧 Yamaha & Riders for Health: 3 more years to make a difference

In 2022, Yamaha Motor Europe joined forces with Riders for Health.
In 2025, the partnership is renewed for another three years.
But this isn’t just about donations, it’s a strategic commitment.

➡️ 48 AG100 motorcycles donated by 2024
 ➡️ Over €62,000 raised via the UK-based Two Wheels for Life
 ➡️ Technical support, maintenance, and fleet replacement
 ➡️ Awareness campaigns through our channels, events, and rallies

And most importantly: Riders for Health is now the title partner of the Yamaha Ténéré Rally Team.

🚀 When rally racing becomes a lifeline

On our race bikes, the Riders for Health logo is no accident.
It’s a symbol. A moral compass in the middle of the sandstorm.

By wearing their colors, we aim to amplify their voice, accelerate their mission, and prove that sport can have real impact.. Because yes, behind every jump, every sharp turn, there might be a hospital reached faster.
A vaccine delivered on time. A life saved.

💙 Riding for change

“Corporate citizenship is at the heart of Yamaha’s philosophy.” Olivier Prévost, President, Yamaha Motor Europe

For us, it’s also at the heart of the journey.

Our partnership with Riders for Health isn’t just a box to tick.
It’s a parallel road ,one that gives every kilometer we ride a deeper meaning.
We are proud, honored, and committed to continuing this journey together.

✊ Join us. Follow the movement. And maybe, save a life with every tank of fuel.

The brand new Ténéré 700 Rally was officially launched in Morocco by our riders during the Carta Rallye.. A great debut!
 This intense week allowed us to put the new machine to the test in real race conditions.

Now, it’s time to prepare for our next rally-raid.
This time, we’re leaving the dunes behind and heading for more enduro-style terrain, between mountains and open plains.

A 2000 km rally-raid in Europe?

But which rally-raid should you choose with a trail or maxi-trail bike in Europe or nearby?

Not all rally-raids offer routes that are suitable for these types of bikes. Even if rally-raid isn’t hard enduro, some terrains can still be very technical.
That’s why it’s important to choose the right event for your riding style and machine.

Our choice with the Ténéré 700: TransAnatolia

A unique rally-raid adventure in Turkey, combining challenging navigation, diverse landscapes, and trail-friendly routes — the perfect playground and training ground for our riders.

All of this in a stunning and exotic setting, with endless open plains and breathtaking mountain ranges.

Join the TransAnatolia with the Ténéré Spirit Experience!

There’s still time to sign up and join us on this incredible adventure. Take advantage of our assistance package for a stress-free race experience.

Whether you choose the Raid or Racing category, everyone can find their own challenge: with or without timing, using GPX tracks or road-books — everyone is welcome to ride with us!
