To be the world's greatest, you first have to crack the hardest cookie of them all, the Paris-Dakar.
Most people call it a grueling off-road race.
A grueling off-road race is an understatement. In any event Peterhansel has won it six times. How about the fact that Peterhansel has won his class championship at the ISDE more times than he cares to remember, as well as having taken the World Enduro Championship in 1997. I hope I've helped settled the argument. When Yamaha called me to interview Peterhansel I could hardly believe it.
