FRANCE — Marc Dorcel has once again demonstrated his support to biker #69 by being his main sponsor during the Dakar rally. Hugo Payen bore the European porn giant’s colors during his eighth, and successful, run.
Anna Polina, the Dorcel Girl, was available to give Payen courage during the race. Indeed, Polina accompanied the rider for his ultimate race between Iquique and Valparaiso.
In 2010, the biker had contacted Marc Dorcel through the nearby DorcelStore, Marc Dorcel’s concept store, after he had been appointed with number 69. With all his Marc Dorcel stickers and t-shirts, he became a star. In three years, he has become the rally’s heart-throb and his story has travelled around the world to China, Peru, Russia, and Argentina.
Winner of the “no help category,” Payen could not help to shift up a gear. With Marc Dorcel’s support, Payen has run his last rally in the pro category. He has seen the big picture and this time competed with a team armed with a pickup and a marquee.
