1st Rd. Rally 2018 – #abudhabi (UAE)

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s #matthiaswalkner has won the fifth and final stage of the 2018 #abudhabidesertchallenge. #SamSunderland claimed third and retained his second place in the overall standings. #tobyprice finished fourth on the stage to move up one place in the overall standings to seventh.

The fifth timed stage of the 2018 Desert Challenge covered 218.57km, with riders eventually completing the rally at the famous Yas Marina F1 Circuit in #abudhabi. Setting off in groups of 10, motocross style, it was always going to be difficult to make up any time on the other riders.

Sam Sunderland led the first group away and rode at the front for the initial half of the stage. It was Matthias Walkner however that took the lead after the refuelling point, fighting a close battle with rival Kevin Benavides for the win. With the lead changing multiple times over the last 50km, it was the Austrian Walkner who eventually crossed the line first, just a couple of bike lengths ahead.
