The leader of the team, Michael Metge, of Ganges, France, will be taking on his eighth Dakar race, fresh off of back-to-back titles at the PanAfrica Rally and Spanish Baja Aragon. Hailing from Salamance, Spain, Lorenzo Santolino is making his second appearance at Dakar. As a five-time Spanish Enduro Champion, three-time Spanish ISDE Champion, two-time Spanish Crosscountry Champion, and Junior World Champion, Santolino will be looking to make a strong impact for the team at the 2020 Dakar Rally.
