He also won the FIM Cross Country Rally World Championship in 2019.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3967\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sam-Sunderland-Daniel-Sanders-GASGAS-Factory-Racing_Duo-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nSanders is in his second full rally season. He came in fourth at this year\u2019s Dakar Rally. Both riders are busy preparing to race the 2022 edition of the Dakar Rally. After Dakar, the riders will campaign a full season in the FIM Cross Country World Rallies Championship.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3968\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sam-Sunderland-GASGAS-Factory-Racing_Dirt-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u201cIt\u2019s great to have two very talented riders racing for GASGAS next season,\u201d said Nord Stadlbauer, GASGAS team Rally manager. \u201cThey are at different stages of their careers, yet they both have the talent to win. Sam is very experienced, and his career achievements speak for themselves. He knows everything there is to know about rally and this will help him to succeed in 2022. Daniel only has one full season of rally racing under his belt, but he has picked things up really quickly. He doesn\u2019t have the experience that Sam has but he\u2019s a very quick learner as we have seen in 2021. They\u2019re both fast, motivated, and capable, so we fully expect to see them battling for success at the Dakar and then in the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship next year.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3969\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Daniel-Sanders-GASGAS-Factory-Racing_Action-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>","excerpt":"<p>Riders Sam Sunderland and Daniel Sanders will join the GASGAS factory Rally team for 2022.
