Solid start for Team HRC in Morocco

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

After the success earned in China, followers of #teamhrc Rally – the official factory team – can now turn their attention to the Morocco OiLibya Rally in which the squad is currently competing. Benavides, Brabec and Gonçalves are among the top five after the first full stage.

After the first day’s #racing in Morocco, the #teamhrc trio are well in the fray for the top positions and all currently lie in the leading five. Competitors battled it out over two timed special stages today which covered sandy zones, rocky terrain and narrow stretches without an excess of navigation.

The best of the #honda CRF450 RALLY bunch was young Argentine rider Kevin Benavides, who took runner-up spot on the day, a minute adrift of leader Toby Price.

Ricky Brabec took advantage of his starting position to post a fourth place. The American was twenty-five seconds quicker than Portuguese teammate Paulo Gonçalves – fifth overall after the aggregate of today’s two specials and the super-special of yesterday in Agadir.

Riders will have to tackle a complicated 554 kilometre stage tomorrow which finishes in the parc ferme where riders will not be allowed any mechanical assistance. Approximately half of that distance – 291 kilometres – will be against the clock.
