2nd Rd. #rally 2019 – #silkwayrally (Russia, Mongolia, China)
Marking the first day of #racing to be held within China, stage eight really tested all competitors in terms of its varied terrain, tricky navigation and the sheer length of the route. At a total distance of 785.11 kilometres, the day proved a real challenge to all. The 326.6-kilometre timed special consisted of a mixture of fast, rock-strewn tracks, dry river beds and the tall dunes of the Gobi Desert.
As the fourth rider to enter the day’s stage, Sam Sunderland immediately began to hunt down the riders ahead of him. Unfortunately, a crash very early on in the special ended up costing him some time. With no major damage to his KTM 450 #rally, Sam was able to quickly remount and began to push for the remainder of the stage. Ultimately crossing the line eighth fastest, the Brit did enough to not only defend his overall lead in the provisional standings but actually increase it slightly with two stages left to race.
Sam Sunderland: “I got welcomed into China in a bit of a rough way to be honest as I had a crash just 15 kilometres into the stage and ended up tasting the Chinese soil. After that I just tried to push and make up for the error that I’d made. The terrain was super nice with lots of variety – rocks and rivers and wash-outs – but was also very challenging with lots of dangers marked on the road book. The last part of the stage was made up of huge mountainous dunes, some you couldn’t even ride up. It made navigation very tricky and there was a lot of vegetation everywhere. Overall, apart from the mistake early on, my day went well so I’ll regroup now and get back on it for tomorrow.”
