Adrien van Beveren

Adrien Van Beveren is a French rider who competes in motocross and rally raid, two off-road disciplines that reward different skills: short, intense races over prepared dirt tracks on one side, and long multi-day navigation stages across open country on the other. He was born on 4 January 1991. His reputation began on the sand of northern France, where he won the Enduropale du Touquet in 2014, 2015 and 2016, which made him the first rider to take three consecutive titles there since Eric Geboers in 1990. He also won the French Sand Racing Championship three times. For most of that period he raced under the colors of the Japanese manufacturer Yamaha, then in 2022 moved to Honda to contest the Dakar Rally and the World Rally-Raid Championship. His best Dakar result is third place, achieved in both the 2024 and 2025 editions, and he was runner-up in the 2021 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship.
