I have contacted the french Ural-Djnepr scene, to find out something more about the driver. From a big Ural-dealer of France I've got following answer:
I receive your e-mail that you send to the dnper-ural amical.
indeed i have Mr Morsillo as a customer and he bought us a bike in order to
do the Paris-Dakar raid
We gave all the spareparts that he will be able to need but it is not like a
sponsoring from Trophy Moto (our compagny).
He told us that he did that race 4 time with cars, and he finished once .
I think he will go to do the raid alone.
But it is not the first time that a ural meet a desert race, we have another
customer Jean loup Moniez, he did the Maroco raid with our support and he
finished 70 on 117.
good luck have a nice trip!!!!!!
