2022 DAKAR | STAGE 1B Lorenzo Santolino finished 4th on the second day!
Kicking off the 2022 #Dakar Rally with all riders posting strong results, the Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Team have safely completed the event’s opening stage. The team’s best result came from #adrienvanbeveren who delivered a near faultless ride to finish the special as the fourth fastest rider. Frustratingly for both #rossbranch and #andrewshort, difficulty finding a troublesome waypoint cost the duo time with Ross going on to place eighth and Andrew 16th.
A section of wet, sandy desert tracks proved to be an additional hazard on the opening stage of the 2022 #Dakar Rally, along with the usual demanding sand dunes, fast, rough tracks, and challenging navigation. Undoubtedly a seriously demanding opening stage, all three Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Team riders completed the special unscathed and ready to take on stage two.
Demonstrating exceptional riding skills and navigation throughout the opening 334-kilometre special stage, #adrienvanbeveren made a highly positive start to his #Dakar campaign by completing the special as the fourth fastest rider. As the 10th rider to enter the stage, the Frenchman used his impressive pace and roadbook skills to advance up the time sheets, moving to the front and ultimately leading the riders across the day’s finish line.
Ross Branch, much like his teammate Adrien, also moved forwards during the stage to join the leading group of riders before a small crash slowed his progress. Remounting quickly and chasing down the leaders once again, a minor navigational error then cost the Botswana native a couple of minutes. Completing the special as the eighth fastest rider, Ross showed good speed and is now focused on making up lost time tomorrow on stage two.
