Run in collaboration with Yamaha Motor Europe the prize was to win the official rally-specification Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid that raced in the 2022 Africa Eco Race plus multiple riding experiences with Alessandro Botturi or Pol Tarres.
The 2022 campaign raised just short of 30k, raising vital money for the Riders for Health The Gambia programme where it will be used to fund motorcycles and support services to get healthcare to remote communities. The campaign has also boosted awareness in the world of rally racing about this important cause.
