🌄 Meet Abas Ghapar: a 33-year-old thrill-seeker who swapped medical scans for sandstorms. Once a radiologist in Xinjiang, he now tears through the Taklimakan Desert on two wheels, proving it’s never too late to chase your wildest dreams.
🔥 After clinching second place in last year’s motorcycle category at the 2024 Taklimakan Rally, Abas is back for redemption at the 2025 event. But don’t call him a pro yet—this humble speedster labels himself ‘semi-pro,’ even while training like an Olympian. "Only total dedication makes a true professional," he insists, as desert winds test his resolve daily.
💨 What fuels his engine? A mix of passion and grit. From diagnosing patients to navigating 40°C dunes, Abas’s story is a masterclass in rewriting life’s script. "The desert teaches you respect," he laughs, revving his bike toward the horizon. For adrenaline junkies and dreamers alike, his journey screams one thing: full throttle or nothing.
