Do you know that Dakar in Chile is very important event? I want to present you a very famous person who participated in rallies worldwide like Dakar Rally and Rallye des Pharaons. He is Carlo de Gavardo Prohens. He was a Chilean motorist and motorcyclist. Years ago a journalist asked him how he started his passion to ride motorcycles and he answered "My grandfather was the person who began all. He had always prepared his baggage to travel somewhere. I remember too he gave me a National Geographic's book which I started to see the maps and rutes of different countries." He began his active participation where he won the Enduro National Championship between 1986 and 1994. In 1996 until 2004 he participated in every Dakar. He had a lot of accidents, but he continued his career. He said "I always see my X-Rays and I think if you are motivated, you will have the strength to carry on." He received two fair-play awards: IOC, International Olympic Committee, and International Motorcycling Federation. Between 2008 and 2009 he began to compete in Dakar with Hummer. He died of a cardiopulmonary arrest while he was riding his bike in Chile, at 45 years old. What do you think, it's dangerous sport or not?

ReplyDeleteI think its not dangerous but I prefers in cars
ReplyDeleteI understand his urge to travel, but I think I'd prefer to do it from the safety of an airplane, train or car! People like him must be very dedicated and motivated.

(Also, remember to use a comma before a quotation, after 'said'.)
