๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ Al jaren staan we op zijn bucket list. Maar tussen zijn werk, media-opdrachten, sportieve plannen en een agenda die voller staat dan een Tour-bus in juliโ€ฆ lukte het voor @bertdebacker nooit. Maar dit jaar valt alles samen.

En daar houden wij wel van!!! ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ Gokjeโ€ฆ wie wordt Bertโ€™s partner in crime ? ๐Ÿ˜Ž ENGLISH SUMMARY ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง He asked to join. No influencer deal. No mass invitation. Just pure motivation and a bit of โ€œWhy not?โ€ energy. After years of trying to make it fit his busy schedule, Bert De Backer is finally joining Roc du Maroc 2026 as one of our two ambassadors. Humor. Big challenges. Real character. This wonโ€™t be a quiet edition. ๐Ÿ”ฅ #rocdumaroc #challengeyourself #extrememtbchallenge #bucketlist

โœถโœถโœถโœถโœถ Nine editions. Nine jerseys. And thousands of memories. Every year we create a new design. Not to follow trends. But to capture the soul of that edition. The dust The madness The suffering The connection Every Roc du Maroc jersey tells a story. A story of people who signed up for something bigger than a bike event. You donโ€™t buy this jersey because it looks good. You earn it because you showed up. And once youโ€™ve worn oneโ€ฆ youโ€™re part of the Roc du Maroc family forever. This is not merch. This is belonging. 2026 is here. A new @bioracerspeedwear jersey. A new story waiting to be written. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Only available for official Roc du Maroc participants. #RocDuMaroc #RDM2026 #NotForEveryone #EarnIt #MTBAdventure CyclingCulture DesertChallenge Bioracer RideTheStory

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Stage everyone talks about. When people speak about @rocdumaroc โ€ฆ this is the stage they ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ talk about! 151 km of pure desert. Endless flats...

Where your limits get exposed. Where itโ€™s not just you vs the desertโ€ฆ but you vs yourself. And yet...this is the one you have to do with us once in your life. Because crossing that finish lineโ€ฆ And the unforgettable night that followsโ€ฆ Thatโ€™s what stays with you ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ. This stage gets under your skin.

๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ We all know RocDuMaroc is not just an ordinary challenge. Six days Six stages Relentless heat Finishing is already something extreme! But for someโ€ฆ it was ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง enough.

Where distance is just the beginning, and the real question becomes: how deep are you willing to go? A maximum stage time sets the tone... a ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—— flag you canโ€™t ignore. Youโ€™re not just riding against yourself. Youโ€™re up against the best who came before you and everyone going all-in beside you.

๐Ÿฉถ Aan onze Chef Eddy, Woorden voelen vandaag te klein. Plots ben je er niet meer. En is er iets verdwenen wat niet te vervangen is. Meer dan tien jaar stond jij aan het hoofd van ons keukenteam, maar dat was nooit zomaar een functie. Jij wรกs de keuken. De motor, het hart, de ziel. Jij gaf alles wat je had โ€” altijd, zonder voorwaarden. Werken tot het uiterste, dag in dag uit, niet omdat iemand het vroeg, maar omdat jij gewoon zo was. Je passie voor eten was puur. Je wilde dat alles klopte. Dat mensen genoten. Dat het goed was. En het wรกs altijd goed. Zelfs als het onmogelijk leek. Zelfs als niemand begreep hoe je het voor elkaar kreeg. Jij deed het gewoon... zandstorm of nietโ€ฆ the show must go on! We konden blind op je vertrouwen. Je stond er niet alleen professioneel, je stond er menselijk. Met loyaliteit. Met een groot hart. Je leidde je team met kracht! Vol overgave en na elke service was er dat moment samen โ€” om op adem te komenโ€ฆ om te genieten en te lachen met een fris pintje erbij. Dat was wie jij was. Je was er voor ons in Afrika, maar ook daarbuiten. Altijd beschikbaar. Altijd bereid. Altijd โ€œhet komt goedโ€. Niets maar dan ook niets was te veel! Eddy, man...wat gaan we je allemaal vreselijk hard missen. De keuken maar ook RocDuMaroc en Morocco Desert Challenge zullen nooit meer hetzelfde zijn. Niet stiller, maar wel leger. Want jouw energie, jouw aanwezigheid en jouw temperamentโ€” die waren uniek. Je was een groot man. Met een nog groter hart. We zijn enorm dankbaar dat we jou hebben gekend! Dat JIJ in ons team zat...al die jaren. In ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ zullen we je eren! Rust zacht, lieve Eddy. Je blijft bij ons! Altijd! ๐Ÿค
