Tank Slappers Podcast: Petrucci reflects on his Dakar odyssey
After a wild Dakar Rally debut, double MotoGP race winner Danilo Petrucci is the special guest of the first Tank Slappers Podcast of 2021.
Having lost out on a MotoGP ride for 2022, Petrucci made a radical career shift and signed up with KTM to do the Dakar Rally for the first time.
Injured while training for the event, Petrucci’s fortnight in Saudi Arabia was one filled with much drama - including a COVID near-miss, an historic stage win and a run-in with a camel.
