Lusail: Isle of Man TT legend James Hillier is heading to Doha next week to take part in the Qatar International Baja for the first time.
The three-day event is based out of the Lusail Sports Arena and is the sixth counting round towards both the FIA World Baja Cup and the FIM Bajas World Cup.
Bournemouth-based Hillier, 39, is one of the world’s leading motorcycle road racers but he also took part in the Malles Moto section of the 2023 Dakar Rally without service support.
Better known for his successes at the Isle of Man TT and the North West 200, Hillier will face a totally different challenge across the winding gravel trails in the State of Qatar, where outright speed needs to be combined with excellent navigational skills to achieve top results.
