Who is the 'character' of La Casa de Papel that competes in the Dakar Rally?

The 2022 edition of the Dakar Rally, which is being played in Saudi Arabia, has a special participant, as Sandra Gómez, who performed in "La Casa de Papel" as the Tokyo stuntman, is competing for the Xraids Clinicas Cres team. Sandra Gómez is an actress and did some remarkable motorcycle scenes in the series replacing Ursula Cobreró, who was the main interpreter of Tokyo.

The 28-year-old actress has a "parallel career" in motocross and long-term competitions, including winning medals in three editions of the X-Games, being AMA Champion Enduro Cross and SuperEnduro World Champion.

Sandra Gómez participated in one of the most famous scenes of the series, when the character Tokyo returns to the Mint and Stamp Factory aboard a police motorcycle and climbs the stairs of the building with her.

Before the Trial World Championship started again, we agreed with Santolino and decided to try to go. It has helped me at all, without it being possible. It doesn't take long, he's learned fast. And it was the fifth place that he got in the past edition ”... She says there is a Spanish digital periodical
