We first met Joe when he joined us on the Tour of Portugal way back in 2016, with his background in the automotive industry and easy-going personality he fitted right in with the team.
Joe has ‘an old head on young shoulder’ approach. You can depend on him to evaluate any given situation and come up with a workable solution, a great asset in the Rallye world, where thinking outside of the box is often essential.
Although Joe is more involved with the rallye side of Desert Rose, he is an experienced and confident off-road rider and is able to instill confidence in newer riders.
Every now and then Joe gets the chance to take part in an event as a rider, but Joe being Joe, doesn’t opt for the easy option; most recently taking on the near 2000 km Greek Odyssey Balkan Edition rally on his 1990s Honda Africa Twin. Needless to say, he finished all stages, including the grueling off road sections which had many of the enduro riders turning back!
