🚗 Starting the Rally adventure in Morocco

Charly is starting his motorcycle rally adventure in Morocco. He is heading to Marrakech for the DesertX Rally presentation in a couple days. First, he will take a trip through Morocco to test out the new DesertX Rally motorcycle while traveling offroad through the spectacular desert.

05:02

🏜 Fun times riding the dunes

Charly met up with Aleix and Kate, who helped him install cameras and practice riding in the dunes near Merzouga. They gradually took Charly through larger dunes, until attempting to climb a very tall dune. Charly was able to make it most of the way up the back side, but ran out of battery before reaching the very top.

10:06

🌵 Heading offroad through the desert

After saying goodbye to Aleix and Kate, Charly sets off on his adventure from Merzouga to Zagora through the desert offroad. He brings minimal supplies of water and food. The route will have different terrains including sand, dirt, and stones. He looks forward to testing the DesertX Rally's improved suspension.

15:08

📍 Oops, went off track!

While taking in the beautiful scenery, Charly gets distracted and goes off the planned route. He finds his way back by following tracks along a dry river bed. There are some tricky sandy patches along the way, so he proceeds carefully to avoid damaging the bike before handing it off to other journalists.

20:11

😮 Desert dangers

Even though he is close to home, Charly reflects that deserts should never be underestimated. A bad fall or breakdown far off track without enough water could complicate things greatly. He decides to continue along the river bed to reconnect with the main track, taking care through the rough terrain.

Highlights

I'm in Merzouga testing the new Ducati DesertX Rally motorcycle before the start of Season 24.

I tried climbing the tallest dune in Merzouga but didn't make it to the top.

Today I'm starting a 2 day off-road route from Merzouga to Marrakech to test the DesertX Rally.

The route follows an old Dakar stage through the desert with sand, dirt and stones.

The DesertX Rally has better suspension than my current bike which is key for off-road.

I got off the planned route and had to find my way back through sandy tracks.

Riding through the dry riverbed I have to be careful not to damage the bike.

The desert should never be underestimated - a breakdown far from help could be dangerous.

I'm taking it slow over the rough terrain to avoid tiring myself and the bike.

Lowering the tire pressure would help in the deep sand but there are also sharp rocks.

I'm trying not to break the bike so I can hand it over intact to the next journalist.

Riding distracted I missed the turn and ended up off the planned route.

I have to be careful choosing my path through the sandy riverbed.

If I stay focused I should be able to get back to the main track.

I haven't had time to fully evaluate the new bike on this first day.

Transcripts

Dirhams.

Then, indeed,

good morning.

We are in Morocco and, indeed, I am in love.

How pretty she is, huh!

The world on a motorcycle with Charly Sinewan

Season 24

In love. Prologue 0

So what happened?

Well, look...I'm going wrong, right? Yes, I'm going wrong.

I'm in Merzouga... Gendarmerie.

Infraction in front of the gendarmerie, very good.

Well, the story is that next week we start Season 24 and we return to Colombia

and blah blah blah, but before all that, and that is why the start of the season has been delayed a little,

Ducati invited me to the presentation of the Desert Rally,

presentation with all the journalists that is going to happen in two days in Marrakech,

which is quite far away. This is Merzouga, there are the dunes.

So, I told them that it was perfect, that I was coming to the presentation of the motorcycle that I am very excited about,

but that obviously the opinion that I can give about this motorcycle is aimed at traveling, which is what I dedicate myself to.

Well, a little into rallying now too but I'm a package.

In case you haven't heard, know that I have dedicated the secondary channel to everything that involves my life on a motorcycle

without suitcases, that is, when I participate in rallies or when I go to one-day events or when I train,

all of that in the times free that the trip around the world on a motorcycle in stages leaves me, which continues to be my main activity.

And then, in addition to going to the presentation, well, they let me have it a few days before

to take a little trip through Morocco and try it while traveling.

Welcome to a kind of prologue of what is going to be Stage 24

that will start next week in Colombia, but that will now take us through a spectacular desert

and testing the new DesertX Rally and thinking, above all, that I have come more than anything,

whether or not it can be my next motorcycle.

And I am going to do a stage that is really very spectacular that I have never done before,

which is from Merzouga to Zagora, offroad; It is an old stage of the Dakar, the Dakar from the beginning

when it was here.

So, get ready to enjoy one of the most spectacular deserts on the planet,

this "motorraco" that they have left me and this small adventure, or perhaps not so small,

of trying to get from Merzouga to Marrakech by offroad in two days,

which has already started to get complicated since this morning because, you won't believe it, but...

Be careful, it's 11 in the morning, I fell asleep, by the way.

Look how pretty the dune is, huh!

Can you imagine climbing up there with this?

Well, before we leave, let's say hello to Aleix and Kate.

Well, they're not there.

Yesterday I tried to climb up there, do you think I succeeded or not?

Yesterday I spent the whole day in Merzouga preparing the motorcycle and luggage for the trip and I contacted Aleix and Kate,

a couple who organize trips through Morocco and who, in addition to giving me a hand with

the installation of the cameras, helped me in my initiation to the dunes.

Okay, let's see...

A 10% margin of error.

Now you have to serve, you're going to lose a little.

Oh okay, you have calculated my mistake, how professional.

Well, welcome to Merzouga, I have decided that I am going to start the Rally on the floor.

I mean, I'm going to go into the dunes, but since I have no idea because if those of you who follow this always remember,

I've only been to dunes once in the Little Sahara.

And it was... I've hired professionals, so here you have Aleix, come on, I've hired him, that's a way of speaking, huh.

I mean, I've had professionals with Aliex and Kate.

Let's try to get this bug into the dunes...

And see what happens.

And let's see what happens to us.

Well, what is going to happen to us, mainly, as I can tell you, is that we are going to have a time like big kids.

Let's see if you can get started and once we're at the top, give it...

Because Merzouga is a kind of amusement park for offroad lovers,

and, they say, one of the best places to do dunes. I will probably upload

the complete video of this first contact with the sand

in a few weeks to the secondary channel,

but now I leave you with some spectacular images of this desert following, or at least trying to follow,

Aleix's wake that gradually took me through dunes from smaller to larger,

until I tried to climb the big dune; What do you think, that I get it or that I don't?

Very good!

Yes, little by little, but now there have been several strange turns and I've gotten tired.

I have to go very slowly so as not to get tired.

That's not so easy today.

Man, between the motorcycle, the tracks and the fact that I'm a newbie.

No, but very good.

Here we go.

With a motorcycle like this you would get it super fast.

Clear.

Except that then we have to apply it to the inertia that this motorcycle generates in us.

Of course, of course.

Which are completely different.

100%, but oh well.

Well, I have to learn many things, but one is to take advantage of the breaks

because when things get tough,

holding on to this bike is...

and then the look, which in offroad is very important, in the dunes perhaps more so

because here

it is. You make a sudden line with this bike, well, either you fall

or you have a terrible time straightening the bike,

like now, for example.

Well, enough of the chatter and beautiful images and epic music and we are going to try to climb the great dune,

with about 200 meters of difference in altitude and with two possibilities.

Third.

First we are going to try the back part, less steep but longer.

Quarter.

I need more inertia.

It's trust and above all gaining inertia, of course.

Now, have you seen that I have turned around?

I didn't see you, but I listened and I said...

I turned around because well...

And now the definitive proof. Will I be able to climb the Desert up here but on this side,

on the steep side, what do you say?

Almost!

Next time we climb on top of...

He has climbed it from behind, that is, already climbed...

Perfect, very good.

But I stayed 5 or 10 meters ahead.

Next time...

Let's see, every time we passed, we left more...

Every time I moved more, but hey, nothing happens...

This for the Tomorrow, we come here at 9 in the morning and you'll go up safely.

The knocks always come at this time now because...

Look, I'm out of battery.

This is typical, that it is going up and that I am going to get it, I would have run out...

That's it, another day.

Well, they're not here, Aleix and Kate, I was with them yesterday.

If I hadn't fallen asleep I would have climbed all the way to the top today.

Yesterday I climbed from behind without any problem and I stayed 2 meters ahead

and obviously simply because it was all broken up with tracks and I couldn't,

that is, the bike jumped a lot, I had to accelerate a lot to gain momentum and it scared me.

With the enduro I did get on the first try and without a problem, obviously, but this new model has

an adjustable steering damper and yesterday, the truth is, I later realized I should have tried to

put it a little harder, it might still work. I moved the direction less at the beginning and it was easier to gain momentum and lift.

How beautiful the desert is, right?

So, I bring water, but not much, I don't bring any food, some small dates

and we are going to make a pretty spectacular path, I think.

It's very cold, huh. 11 degrees we continue, eh, uufff.

I should buy water, right? Before everything gets complicated.

Today is the first day of the route and I still haven't gotten into the travel routine

and I'm a little confused.

Obviously today's stage is not particularly dangerous, but the desert should never be underestimated,

so I should buy water because I carry less than three liters and this, in case of problems, may not be enough.

The asphalt is over.

How nice, right?!

Guys, how nice, right?!

The history of this bike is that obviously it is much better than the previous model,

which is still made the same, that is, this is the Desert Rally, the previous one is the Desert.

The thing is that, obviously, it is better for many things but not for everything

and I have to see a little, think, if I prefer this motorcycle to travel or I prefer to continue with mine,

regardless of the fact that even if I prefer this one I don't know if it will be feasible make the change.

But, first of all, I want to try it because, in other words, the great improvement of this bike compared to mine

It is the suspension that is much better.

So I have two whole days to test the bike intensely and on different terrain

because this route has sand, it has dirt and also stones.

Guys, this is incredible, I have the tire pressure, I have 2 kg in the front and I think it's in the rear.

For this terrain it is good because you can't lower them too much because, although there are times

when there is sand, like now, for example, a little, but there is also a lot of stone, sharp rock.

Oh oh! I got confused, I got off track.

I have gone quite off track by talking. I shit...!

The thing is, I think that all the tracks lead to the same place, but now I've gone a long way,

that is, I think it goes behind that mountain.

Let's see, I'm going to move forward a little.

Let's see, I think everyone is going to... Let's see, let's see.

I don't know, I don't really like this, it's going too far.

Oh okay, yes, yes, this is going to be found with the track there anyway.

Nothing, I'm fine.

What a beautiful mountain there, right?!

This is incredible, isn't it?

I believe there.

I've gone off track, but I'm going to find it again.

Damn, sandy! I don't want to fall.

Well, nothing, I got into it, I don't know if it was planned, but...

First sandbank.

I prefer to kick.

That it is not the same yesterday in the dunes as it is here.

Now follow the river directly, you reach one that is full, we cross the track

to take the main one.

All straight?

OK thanks.

This sandbar, it seems, is nothing more than a first warning of what is coming.

Well, if it continues for a long time we will have to lower the pressure, there will be no other choice.

Well, I'm going to get together with the track, which, by the way, the track I have is by Martín Solana,

who is the ideologist of this trip, of the road, let's say, and Martín's track went around there,

I don't know Yes, there was more or less sand than here, but there was quite a bit here, really.

So, nothing, I prefer to pedal, not break the motorcycle, it is key to deliver it in its entirety tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

In other words, in two days, when I arrive in Marrakech, all the journalists arrive; I think there are 20 of us

and there are two waves or two waves.

So, I'm on the first one, but then my motorcycle, which will be this one, will be left for another journalist

so the idea is to try to make it arrive in one piece.

Well this was a stage of the Dakar.

Imagine how the crazy people from the Dakar must have come here.

How scary, right?

Damn, guys, that's impressive, right?!

And now, let's see, I'm leaving again, but hey, I'm doing well, right?

It should go to the right.

I'm going along the river and there must be a path, from what I see in it...

Well, I don't know if you've noticed this new gadget called Tripltek, which is a hyper-luminous tablet.

What happens is that this has a cable that goes here that I didn't bring, in my rush I forgot to bring many things.

Then I set it to very low brightness so that the battery lasts for two days.

One day it lasts without a problem from what I've been testing, but two days it may not.

So, I don't know where I'm going to sleep today, so I wear it almost dull, I can see it fine, but...

No no no no no...

I don't want to fall.

I have to go right at some point.

I hope this doesn't take me too long...

Well, I'll tell you that yes, Martín's track crosses the dry river probably on a sandy path,

but I walk, but as I'm talking to you and I have my head somewhere else ,

I must have gone straight somewhere and I should definitely turn right and cross wherever

until I find the track because, otherwise, I'm going somewhere else.

Well, I don't know whether to force myself, eh, over there and get along with the path.

It's just that I have to go there.

Here there are footprints, here there is like a path, let's see.

I think so, I think that here if I follow this trail I will find Martín's path

that probably also arrived on the other side, eh.

See? This is what scared me, getting into another type of surface and getting hooked.

Oops, this is really broken, I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong, to be honest.

No, ugh.

I'm in the fucking river, huh.

I think I'm doing it wrong, huh.

I think this is not a good idea, I have to go there, huh.

If I go like this, I get to the track.

No, no, no, no, this looks very bad.

Where am I getting into?

This is the direction, of course, that I have to take.

This is...

Yes, this is how I find the path; Another thing is that later the path is not such.

I'm already on my way, eh, I mean, I'm going to get to the track no matter what.

Ugh, it's gone down there, huh.

I am in Morocco, very close to home and without the stress of traveling,

like everything is very easy here.

What a beautiful loss, huh.

But the truth is that deserts should never be underestimated, because a bad fall

or a puncture or a breakdown, if you are off the track, as is my case at the moment,

and also without water...

No, no, no , no, I'm getting into trouble, I think.

It could complicate everything.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, if I continue along the "fucking" river...

See you on Sunday because in the end I haven't had time to tell you how the bike is.

To be continue
