Nasser Al-Attiyah nyerte a vb negyedik versenyét
Nasser Al-Attiyah and Matthieu Baumel won the Desafio Ruta40 in Argentina, putting themselves in a good position to defend their championship title. In the motorcycle category, Tosha Schareina, who did not enter the championship, finished first, but in the overall standings Luciano Benavides took the lead. The organizers set a challenging route for the final day of the Desafio Ruta40. The 258 km special stage started with a flat section filled with sand along the Santa María River. The alternating dry and wet areas required serious attention from the racers. The second part of the stage climbed to a height of 2500 meters on WRC-style mountain tracks. In the car category, Nasser Al-Attiyah did not slow down, leading at every checkpoint and winning the day with a 1 minute 3 second advantage over Sebastian Halpern. Yacopini finished 6 minutes behind, while Al-Rajhi fell behind by 10 minutes, meaning that the final rankings did not change behind the winners Al-Attiyah and Baumel. Yacopini took second place, while Al Rajhi came in third. With this victory, Nasser Al-Attiyah became the second foreign winner of the race, with only Nani Roma having beaten the locals in 2013. Al-Attiyah’s lead in the championship now increased to 46 points ahead of the season-ending Morocco Rally. In the motorcycle category, Toby Price won the fifth stage ahead of Ross Branch and Ricky Brabec. Tosha Schareina finished fifth, but this was enough for him to win the race. The Spanish rider finished first with a lead of 7 minutes and 36 seconds over Luciano Benavides and 21 minutes and 16 seconds over Ricky Brabec. With this victory, Honda, just like in Paulo Gonçalves’ win in 2018, once again triumphed in the race. The Japanese are dominant in the Desafio Ruta40, this being their ninth victory out of the eleven races held so far. In the championship, Luciano Benavides took the lead with 80 points, while Toby Price, with 71 points, dropped to second place.
