sorry bit late to this thread...but most memorable for me from this year's rally was the loss of Paulo Goncalves -
died on the Dakar Rally after crashing in the Saudi Arabia desert on Sunday. He was 40.

Gonçalves fell and suffered cardiac arrest about halfway through the 339-mile (546-kilometer) seventh stage,

Gonçalves won 23 titles in motocross, supercross and enduro, and won the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship in 2013, before being a runner-up in 2014.[1] He started participating in the Dakar Rally in 2006, and participated in thirteen of them.[1] He raced on African, South American and Asian continents and won three stages.[2] He finished among the top ten competitors, and was the runner-up in 2015, Marc Coma being the only competitor ahead of him.[1]

Between 2006 and 2009,[3] and also from 2013 to 2019, Gonçalves raced for the Honda team in the Dakar Rally, before moving to the Hero MotoCorp team in 2020.[4] From 2010 to 2012 he was with the BMW-owned Husqvarna Motorcycles team outfit.[3] He was also a member of the KTM team during his career.[1] During the 2020 edition of the Dakar rally the engine started in the third stage, and its withdrawal was announced, which was corrected about three hours later, as Gonçalves was trying to repair his vehicle at the same time as he was waiting for his team to arrive for assistance.[1] Due to his taste for high speeds, he was nicknamed "Speedy", which was a reference to the Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales.[1]
