Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The conclusion of the marathon stage was an eventful day. Lorenzo had a good day overall, coming back into contact with the top 10. Rui fell heavily, but fortunately not serious. Harith continues his consistency, he is having some excellent days.

Lorenzo Santolino raced very well today. He rode cautiously to spare his tire and decided to make sure he finished well, he finished 12th and returned to 9th place overall.

Rui Goncalves was #racing neck and neck with Ross Branch from kilometer 50, however he crashed at the 200-kilometer mark. A moment of inattention for our Portuguese rider and he crashed hard and caused heavy damage to his 450 SEF Rally. He twisted the handlebars and damaged the fuel tank. He was able to make the necessary repairs and managed to complete the special with only 50 mins lost, he finished in 40th position. He is now 25th in the general classification.
He suffers from pain in his ankle and elbow and will go to the doctor this evening, but he will be on the starting line tomorrow morning.

Harith Noah is still having a good race. He finished 29th today, he is very consistent. He is also organized and rigorous in his preparation for each stage, he brought a very clean motorcycle back to the bivouac after these 2 days without assistance. He is currently 32nd overall.

INSIDE THE NEW AIROH HELMET
 
AIROH equips the 3 #sherco Factory riders with the new AVIATOR 3 helmet in the SILVER CHROME WAVE finish. This 2021 model features the brand's latest innovations in terms of safety such as the AMS2 PLUS, which dissipates kinetic energy during impact in the #event of a fall and the AEFR, a system for rapid removal of cheek pads in an emergency situation.
 
Rui Goncalves and #harithnoah fell hard in the first week. The helmets absorbed the impact, and the riders were not harmed. In these extreme conditions and at these speeds, this is the best test that is possible to do on a protective element. Rui gives us his feelings after these 8 days of #racing:
 
"There is a real evolution with the 2021 model of the Airoh Aviator. The helmet offers wide vision, this is very important when navigating the stages of navigation and looking for the track. Safety is the # 1 asset of this helmet, because during my crash today the helmet absorbed the shock considerably. I feel perfectly protected and confident, which is important when I attack at high speeds on the track ".
 
Rui Goncalves, #sherco Factory

David CASTEU, Team Manager:
 
Once again, a long night awaits our mechanics. We are lucky to have the 3 motorcycles at the bivouac tonight, Lorenzo's and Harith's are in perfect condition. The team will be working all night so that Rui's is ready the race tomorrow.
 
We are now entering the last, most important days of the race. The 450 SEF Rally are doing very well, the riders are in good shape, and more motivated than ever!
