Rankings

2022: 16º (Dakar)

NR

  • Nani Roma is to the Dakar what one of four wheels is to a car: indispensable. This January, he will participate for the 28th time in a brand new 4x4 prototype: the Ford Raptor T1+, developed by Ford Performance and M-Sport.
  • The Folgueroles native is part of a stellar line-up that includes Carlos Sainz, Mattias Ekström and Mitch Guthrie. He is one of only three competitors in Dakar history to have won the legendary race on a motorbike (2004, with KTM) and in a car (2014, with Mini X-raid).
  • Although he played football as a child, he was quickly drawn to motorcycling, and in 1991 finished runner-up in the Spanish 125cc Enduro Junior Championship. His first Dakar participation was in 1996, and immediately, he turned heads with a stage victory.
  • He has even competed in the race with his wife, Rosa Romero, who has participated in 10 editions of the world's most challenging race.
  • With more than 6,000 km of testing under his belt, since he started working with the American brand and the British preparer in March 2023, he is keen to shatter the maxim that a new project never wins on the Dakar Rally on the first attempt.
