Biography
Casale also took part in the 2010 Dakar Rally with his father, competing in the Trucks category. They finished in 26th place, earning Casale wild card place in the 2011 Dakar Rally, where he finished 40th in the motorcycle category. The following year he competed in the four-wheeler category and finished in fourth place, the highest ranked Chilean rider.[1] In the 2013 Dakar Rally he won the seventh stage, becoming the first Chilean to win a stage in the Four-Wheeler category. He went to come second overall, behind Marcos Patronelli, the best result achieved by any Chilean in the history of the Dakar Rally.[2]

In 2014, after 14 days and 5,000 miles of riding through the Argentinean and Chilean Andes, Bolivian salt plains and the Atacama desert, Casale won his first Dakar victory.[3]
Casale performed well throughout the 2014 Dakar Rally,[4] finishing first in seven of the 13 stages (stages 1, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13) and holding the overall number one spot from stage 7 through to the end.
Casale will later meet Chilean president Sebastián Piñera at La Moneda Palace in Santiago. He has told the media that he intends to defend his Quad title at the 2015 Dakar Rally.[5]
