A team at your service

Denis

Founder and leader

He is the founder and animator of SUDRANDO. It is he who imagines, scouts, organizes and supervises the entire motorcycle program in France and abroad. A direct witness and / or actor of most of the major enduro and raid events since the beginnings, he has retained a taste for effort and sporting challenge. With an incredible memory of trails, he is able to adapt to all situations and knows better than anyone how to measure the difficulties on his routes. Attentive and available, he is never stingy with good advice and will always be at your side in difficult passages. The experience has developed in him a kind of 6th sense which allows him to anticipate most problems or respond to them with maximum efficiency. Sincerely attached to respect for the natural and human environment, he believes that this respect begins with a deep knowledge of the terrain. He pays particular attention to the environment of his organizations and remains attentive to the quality of relationships between individuals. Passionate about his job, this professional adventurer never misses the opportunity to tell you with complete pleasure the anecdotes that have marked his life as an endurance rider and the years spent in the service of off-road motorcycles.
