There are teams that come to win. And then there’s Team Belgium. For more than thirty years, this Belgian quartet has built a unique reputation on the international circuit: a team that races first to experience something, and that always comes back with the best stories to tell.
At the center of it all is Daniel Masy. The only person in the world who have raced every edition of the Raid in France since its inception. Before that, he was already there, at the very origins of the sport with the Raid Gauloises, when adventure racing was laying the groundwork for this unique discipline. With twenty qualifying races and ARWS World Championships under his belt, the circuit inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2024. A rare honor, reserved for those who have left their mark on the sport beyond the podiums. When he takes the starting line, he’s looking to have a good time and discover the world in a different way.
By his side, Marie-Hélène Thonnard, Frédéric Bovy, and Bernard Delvigne share the same philosophy: giving it their all, without taking themselves too seriously.
What Team Belgium embodies is a certain vision of adventure racing—the one that existed before world rankings and podium strategies. They race the way you’d set out on an expedition with friends: with dedication, curiosity, and the knack for turning every hardship into a story.
In Corsica, they’ll experience the World Championship just as they always have: going all out, having fun, and without watching the clock.
