In January the Three Bridges’ born rally raid motorbike rider, Daniel “Chucky” Sanders, shocked the world when he won the 2025 Dakar Rally.
Considered the biggest race in the world of motorbikes and off-roading, his Dakar Rally win put Three Bridges on the map.
He dominated the race with a comfortable eight minutes and 50 seconds between him and second-placed Spaniard Tosha Schareina.
Interviewed after the stage, Sanders said when he came out of the dunes, he could see the bivouac and just got instant chills through his whole body.
“I was super nervous. I couldn’t believe it. All the emotions started coming through and I could see the finishing line. It’s the biggest race in the world of motorbikes and off-roading,” he said.
“To win the six-day international enduro and now the Dakar, it’s just ticked off all the goals for my career and everything I’ve wanted to achieve. It’s a massive accomplishment,”
“For the team, my family, friends, my girlfriend and everyone who’s seen me undergo all the lows and highs along the way, it’s finally all paid off. They knew I could do it, everyone who’s backed me along the way, even after the last three years of a lot of lows, really, now we’ve got the up, so all the hard work has paid off”.
