Paris - Lac Rose.

Team Rally POV's will not be just a Dakar. We wave goodbye to the lights of the capital, ride every kilometre of the 2027 Dakar and arrive by bike at Lac Rose (the Pink Lake), in Dakar, where for twenty years the original Paris-Dakar came to an end.

A renewed project and a tireless team, ready to put you in the saddle with us: from the first kilometre beneath the Eiffel Tower to the finish coordinates written on the logo, 14° 50′ 19″ N, 17° 13′ 50″ W.

The journey

Three chapters, a single route.

Paris, the Dakar, Lac Rose. First the transfer on and off road to the start in the Algarve, then the 7,824 km of the Dakar from the Algarve to Marrakech, and finally the descent along the Atlantic coast to Dakar. All on RoadBook, drawn with Rally Buddy.

Back to Africa

After twenty years the Dakar returns to Africa.

This year the race will not be held in Saudi Arabia: the 2027 Dakar starts from the Algarve, in Portugal, crosses the Mediterranean and arrives in Marrakech, an edition that, after twenty years away from the African continent, will leave its mark on history.

Start from the Algarve Stadium in Loulé-Faro, rest day in Agadir on 17 January, bivouacs between Bouarfa, Zagora, Agadir and Smara, finish in Marrakech.

What we do

A journey told every day, from Paris to Lac Rose.

Rally POV was born to tell the story of the Dakar from the inside. In 2027 the story begins before the start and ends after the finish: every day, on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, with the formats that in 2026 brought millions of people to the bivouac.

01

Daily Recap

The daily video from the stage with Tiziano as "reporter in the special": navigation, road book and the hidden anecdotes.

02

Una Porta sulla Dakar

The evening news show hosted by Alberto Porta: the sporting results and the most human stories of the rally.

03

Malle Moto

The live stream from the bivouac, without filters: maintenance and life without assistance.

04

Reels

Every day a curious look at the details and moments that truly define life at the Dakar.

The Dakar returns to where it all began, with a renewed project and a tireless team ready to put you in the saddle with us.

One tenth

10%

of all Rally POV revenue

Since we will finally be crossing some of the countries that helped write the legend of this dream called the Dakar, during this journey we will donate 10% of all Rally POV revenue, whether it comes from sponsors, partners or crowdfunding.

We will not always do it through existing associations, but on the road, without filters, depending on who the universe puts in our path: a small gesture to bring a smile to the continent that lit this passion inside us.

The bike

Eva, the first Ducati in history at the Dakar.

We make the journey with Eva: a Ducati Desmo450 EDS turned into a rally bike, unveiled at the Dakar stand at EICMA 2026 with the number 93. In almost fifty years of the race's history, the Ducati brand has never lined up at the start: in 2027 it will happen for the first time, in the Original class, without assistance.

Visibility that will not come again

A story that will be told and retold.

01

A single sentence

Every article, video and report will have to say the same sentence: from Paris to Lac Rose with the first Ducati in history at the Dakar.

02

An audience beyond sport

The journey speaks to rally enthusiasts and to those who love design, culture and made in Italy, as much as to the readers of the specialist magazines.

03

It does not end at the finish

Presentations, events, trade shows, documentary content and the historical archive keep working for years after Lac Rose.
