Brabec steps up on stage 2 and overall

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Ricky Brabec was today the fastest rider from the #monsterenergyhondateam. The American was third on the second stage from the #sonorarally, held today between Hermosillo and Puerto Peñasco. With this result he also steps up in the overall ranking, climbing to third place.

The stage was supposed to have  a total of 541 km – 286 on the chronograph and 255 of liaison but was shortened by the organization, who also postponed the start due to “unforeseen circumstances and to ensure maximum safety for competitors”.

Brabec, who is a record holder from the #sonorarally with four victories, has now a four minute (4:16) gap for the leader with three more days to go and a lot of tracks to ride. Pablo Quintanilla is 4th with a 4:56 minutes gap, Adrien Van Beveren 7th with a delay of 7:41 minutes and Nacho Cornejo 14th overall with a 18:34 minutes gap.

The #sonorarally left today the bivouac in downtown Hermosillo for the beach camp in Puerto Peñasco, where sandy tracks and the beaches of the Sea of Cortez awaited the competitors. For tomorrow, stage number 3 will consist of a circuit with start and arrival in Puerto Peñasco with a 350 km of special stage and a liaison of 116 km. The “menu” for the riders won’t be much different from today. Again there will be quite a variety of terrains, with gravel tracks, sand and chott. Low humidity and high temperatures – up to 35ºC – will continue to demand a lot from the rider’s physique.
