Sam Sunderland makes strong return to rally racing at Desafio Ruta 40

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

RED BULL #gasgas FACTORY #racing STAR PICKS UP HIS PACE THROUGHOUT DAY ONE IN ARGENTINA TO CLAIM THE 11TH FASTEST TIME

And we’re racing! Safely through stage one at the #desafioruta 40 with the 11th fastest time, Red Bull #gasgas Factory Racing’s #samsunderland quietly went about his business on what turned out to be a seriously long day in the saddle. Initially, Sunderland posted a time just over six minutes adrift of the stage winner which was a pretty impressive result for his first day back at the office. That was until an unfortunate seven-minute time penalty relegated the Brit down the running order from sixth to 11th. On to stage two!

  • Sunderland safely through stage one at #desafioruta 40
  • GASGAS racer gets back into the swing of #rally racing
  • Stage two scheduled to include a sandy 339-kilometer special

Going back to yesterday’s Prologue, which was used to decide the starting order for today’s stage one, the results were definitely tight at the top! A mere eight seconds separated the top nine with Sunderland placing eighth, and after those before him had chosen their starting position, the RX 450F racer would be the fourth rider to rock up and enter the stage one special.

Understandably a little bit cautious early on in the 334-kilometer special, the two-time Dakar champion enjoyed a largely positive stage one. Even with planning to take things day by day, Sam wasn’t all that far off of the leader’s pace and reached the bivouac in La Rioja safe and sound.

Sam Sunderland: “That’s the first stage done here at the Ruta 40. The stage went through a riverbed early on and with the low sun, it made vision quite difficult. It took me a bit of time to get going really which is normal as I’ve been off for so long and I’m just gonna take this race day-by-day. I’m here to get some #racing kilometers under my belt and that’s what I did. Results-wise it’s not where I want to be, but we have a long way to go and I’m looking forward to tomorrow."
