Reali Paris Dakar is one of the only motor associations still left for lovers of the steering wheel and addicts of the motor sport. A war of man and machine in harsh conditions of a great, barren desert. The Jerusalem motorcyclist Hezi Alon will represent Israel this year in the race. He finished the race in 100th place after coming in 95th in the final stage. Alon managed to stay in the race despite a small budget and not being supported by any group. 240 riders, male and female, took part in the race this year and only 104 reached the last stage. In the picture—the rider and the helmet.
