Itchy Boots

All I see is a big question mark and it’s not a clickable link….(?)

That's because Noraly is considered a "VIP" for this ride ... so a surprise entrant.

If you go back to the video, you'll see where he shows her side plates, with the number "29" embossed.

(he also shows his number plate, which is "8", and corresponds with entrant 8, which is him.)
 
I have this habit of going back to edit/add to my posts. I see a couple of new posts while I was doing that. Spoiler: she finished 18th

So, you're suggesting Noraly entered into the Baja under an alias ... plus finisher #18 doesn't have plate #29

18 ... N.Schoenstein(#27)

Noraly's last name is Schoenmaker, and she is supposed to be #29.
 
Well, that photo proves she entered under an alias ... if we zoom in, we see him applying a "number sticker" over her original number plate.

She's very cautious of attracting attention.
 
This girl.
Ripping up a loose, rutted vertical climb, way-way out of her comfort zone, and with characteristic understatement and aplomb, says simply...
"Oh, dear."
The sheer dropoffs in some of it reminds me of Chris Birch riding on The Trail of Death (I think it's called) in Moab, and the 2-month long tour from Cartagena to Ushuaia (top to bottom of South America) on RawHyde Adventure's "Expedition 65" video series. (Find it on YouTube.)
One wrong move, and they *might* find pieces of you and the bike as goners, some thousand or two feet below.
Talk about "Long Way Down"... don't leave home without a lot of nerve.
And skill.
A bit of luck, if you have any of that left, could come in handy.
