Check out this Dakar Portrait with HRC factory rider Adrien van Beveren as he talks about his Dakar experiences and what he might expect in 2025. A very fast Frenchman, who can easily win this years event, with a little luck.

With 1.87 meters tall and weighing 86 kg, Adrien has a huge passion for motorsports. So when he’s not riding the Honda 450 CRF RALLY, he likes to ride a wave runner, rally car, track bike or buggy. To help his physical preparation he is also a mountain bike fan.

In each race, Adrien is for sure one of the contenders for the overall victory. He is part of the world’s rallying elite and is on the verge of reaching the summit of his sport. It all started back home, where the French rider is a star in his region of Hauts-de-France, where he conquered his three victories in the Touquet Enduro. In the Dakar, he disputed the leadership in several editions, finishing fourth in 2017 and 2022.

After his last Dakar where he finished fifth, the Frenchman is keen to climb up the standings after a great year that saw him win the title in Abu Dhabi.
