Monaco-born Adrien Maré and Nicolas Brabeck of Team Casteau finished the Dakar 2018 on Saturday, January 20, in 48th and 59th place respectively.

The 14th and final stage of 286 kilometres included 120 kilometres of special trials in Cordoba, Argentina. The rally took a total of 14 days. It was the tenth year that the event took place in Latin America. Spanish rider Carlos Sainz won the rally for the second time.

Team manager Thibaut Brouard, who himself took part in 13 Dakar races, said it was mission accomplished for Team Casteu, and thanked the two mechanics, Nicolas and Bruno for their exceptional work, and Gaétan, the physio “whom I got to know during this Dakar and who did an extraordinary job”.
