2021 DAKAR - Stage #4 Wadi Ad-Dawasir - Riyadh

Some days ar better than others, it is the Dakar! Between navigation problems for #ruigoncalves and a fall at high speed for #harithnoah, #lorenzosantolino continued at a good pace, he finished the day in 12th place, which keeps him in 12th place overall.

Lorenzo Santolino maintained his position. Despite the difficulties encountered and a few stomach aches, our rider was in charge. 12th today. He remains 12th in the general classification 12 minutes behind the leader after more than 15 hours of specials.

Rui Goncalves had his first major navigation error today. He got lost and conceded 43 minutes. He finished the stage in 44th position, for a 28th place in the general classification.

Harith Noah fell really hard today. Our rider did not sustain any serious injuries and will be at the start tomorrow. A long night awaits the team mechanics to refurbish the 450 SEF Rally. He reached the finish line in 66th position, for a 37th place in the general classification.

David CASTEU, Team Manager
 
The big fall of Harith will have had the benefit of underlining a great mutual support within the team. All our mechanics will be working late tonight to repair and allow our rider to start tomorrow morning with a bike in perfect condition.
 
I would like to thank Furygan, who equips our jackets with his Airbag System. This additional protection was decisive in preserving our rider as much as possible during his fall. Made mandatory this year, this innovation saw the brand's return to the Panther, always committed to strengthening the safety of riders, which is their daily mission outside of this race.
