The Skoda Titan Desert Morocco it is a test that implies an effort and a spirit of sacrifice that few can achieve. but, Albert Soler he surprised everyone when he managed to finish it even though he was only 16 years old, the youngest to do so in the 17-year history of the race.
To make it more difficult, with his father Jordi Soler, He did it in ‘adventure’ modality, that is, without mechanical assistance or physiotherapy in six stages of the race. And all this to complete his high school research work. An adventure that serves for their learning.
“My research work is based on the psychology of high level sport and Titan Desert is the best example. This is a race where the head is very important, you cannot give up. I wanted a job that would give me something and that’s what happened.” Each phase that passes is another chapter of the finished work.

Jordi explains that it all started as a joke comment and escalated until the two found themselves Morocco for an adventure they will never forget. “He started with the crazy idea of doing Titan as a practical piece of work. and we usually don’t do it. And here we go into adventure mode, which is somewhat reminiscent of the Paris Dakar of the 80s. And I am glad that I can do the work in a completely practical way”.
To complete the stages Jordi is at the front to pull and help with anything needed. Both agreed that the marathon stage, especially the fourth day, was the most difficult due to the extreme heat in the desert. That was the first stage of Albert’s career and he doesn’t know what his limit really is. For this same reason, they didn’t think stage by stage, but as they explained to MD, they just thought about the next refreshment point.
When we asked him what was the greatest joy of Titan for both of them, Albert said that completing the stage was a unique feeling: “The best thing is the feeling of having done it one day.” For Jordi, like every father, “it is the proud to share this experience with him“.
