  • Thirty-year-old José Ignacio Cornejo Florimo will compete in his 10th Dakar, now with the Hero Motorsports Rally Team after six seasons with Honda.
  • After his first two Dakars, Nacho Cornejo came into general consideration a few days before the 2018 edition—when he decided to retire for financial reasons—when he received a call from the Honda Team to join the team to replace the injured Paulo Gonçalves. ‘Nacho’ made the most of that opportunity, and in an impeccable performance, he finished 10th.
  • His Dakar record includes six top-ten results, with his best finish of fourth in 2020. He won two stage victories, including the final stage.
  • The 2021 edition was his most difficult. ‘Nacho’ was leading the general classification and was second on stage 10, one minute behind Ricky Brabec, when he had a severe crash at km 252 of the special stage. Although he completed the stage, he decided to retire from the race in agreement with the medical team.
  • In 2022, he suffered a delay on the opening stage but bounced back with two stage wins. He showed great pace in the second week and finished a credible sixth place.
  • In the last edition, Nacho displayed his speed, scoring three stage victories, although mechanical problems relegated him to sixth place in the final classification.
  • Happy with his new team and teammates, Ross Branch and Sebastian Buhler, the Morocco Rally was good for him personally and in helping his teammate Branch win the World Championship. This motivation and his work on the bike offer excellent prospects for this new Dakar.
