00:00So it's my first time to come to Doha and it's my first day, so I'm going to try everything
00:17GPS, bike and track.
00:20For me, everything is new and everything is good.
00:27Formula 1 and MotoGP, they've developed a lot of systems to normal road cars and normal
00:33road bikes.
00:34And now in the off-road, we do the same, so we hope to have good feelings.
00:46The feeling to return here at the Dakar is fantastic and we come back with big ambitions.
00:53Let's hope it goes well, that we don't have any problems, that we're able to improve our
00:57pace and work smartly, both physically and psychologically.
01:06Old projects are evolving, new projects are arriving.
01:10Welcome to Season 2 of Dakar Future Mission 1000.
01:13It's a first experience for the Segway team that shows up with two electric bikes.
01:23I'm really happy to have started this Dakar rally.
01:30A short stage, but really beautiful and fast.
01:34I had no issues, no problems with the bike, thankfully, so I'm happy with this stage.
01:40While Benjamin Pascual is the youngest of all the Dakar competitors, the crew members
01:45of the KH7 hydrogen truck are far more experienced.
01:50Having already won the challenge last year.
01:58The Segway line-up, an Argentinian and a Chinese rider enjoying the sound of silence in the
02:05Saudi desert.
02:10Present last year, Haise have come with a new hydrogen-powered X2 and a brand new crew
02:15with Dakar veteran Paolo Marquez as the navigator and Yoshio Ikemashi behind the steering wheel.
02:25Yeah, so I'm very surprised because before I was in doubt about hydrogen power, but I
02:32drove, so nice power.
02:34So not a big difference for the petrol engine.
02:37It's a very good power anyway.
