With all eyes focused on reaching the big finish of the rally in Córdoba on Saturday, the experienced Aussie rally racer has moved up in the event's provisional overall standings.
The opening part of the rally's last marathon stage included yet more #racing in dusty and treacherous conditions. Securing his second-best stage result to date, #rodneyfaggotter brought his WR450F Rally machine home in 16th position, 41 minutes behind the stage winner. Putting in an impressively consistent ride in the event, the Aussie is 18th in the provisional overall standings with three more stages still to be contested in Argentina.
