Laia Sanz is a Thirty year old rider from Spain. 2019 Dakar was her Ninth Dakar Rally.

This year she tested her limits and pushed herself back into racing. She said in a statement:
“The goal, normally will be to be among the top 15. But today I am in the unknown, I don’t know what to expect when it comes to sensations. It would be better than I expect, but I want to be very careful this year and ride without a particular objective. All I want is to start the rally in good health.”
