"If you want a chance to finish the Dakar, Charlie and Rally Management Service are the team to go with. They know how to manage the whole experience from entry to the finish in Dakar. Knowing the RMS team was servicing my bike nightly allowed me to concentrate on getting ready for the next day, preparing my maps, eating and getting the necessary sleep. I've been on many teams and RMS is the team I choose to race the Dakar with." Casey McCoy (motorcycle competitor, former factory team member, finished 31st with RMS in his first Dakar)
