The Dakar Rally sounds like a different planet.

Desert stages, brutal fatigue, navigation pressure, and machines pushed to the limit.

In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we do a Noobs Guide to the Dakar Rally.

No jargon. No flex. No gatekeeping. Just a clear, rider-to-rider breakdown.

We’re joined by Manny Cabili and Darwin Zialcita to talk about:

• What Dakar is really about beyond the highlight reels

• How riders train and prep their bikes

• The mental game, discipline, and endurance required

• Why Dakar is not just speed, it’s strategy and resilience

If you’ve ever asked, “Paano nila tinatapos ‘yan?”, this one’s for you.

Whether Dakar is your dream or you just want to understand the mindset behind it, listen in.
