PROCEEDING WITH CAUTION ON A LONG AND FAST STAGE, THE #gasgas FACTORY #racing RIDER EDGES EVER CLOSER TO THE EVENT'S FINISH |
Returning to #racing following the cancellation of stage eight, which saw the 42nd Dakar #rally temporarily paused for all motorcycle class racers as a mark of respect to Paulo Goncalves who tragically lost his life on day seven, #laiasanz has completed today’s 886-kilometre stage from Wadi Al-Dawasir to Haradh in 23rd position. A challenging day for all riders, an early start was followed by initial technical tracks before the special became a mentally draining day of high-speed riding. Laia completed the 410-kilometre special stage in a time of three hours and 48 minutes to finish 23rd and is now placed 17th in the provisional overall classification.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the true marathon stage of the 2020 Dakar #rally and heads south-east to Shubaytah, featuring the second-longest special stage of the #Event at 534 kilometres.
