Tarrés & Botturi Complete Historic 1-2 at TransAnatolia

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Yamaha Ténéré World Raid Team, in partnership with Riders for Health, continues to rip up the record books, this time after Pol Tarrés secured his maiden #rally raid victory and a stunning first win for a twin-cylinder adventure bike at the TransAnatolia with his teammate #alessandrobotturi ensuring they created more history by making at a 1-2.

The 2023 TransAnatolia saw competitors ride over 2,300km in seven days as they traversed from the east to the west coast of Turkey, starting at the Black Sea port of Samsun before ending in Izmir on the Aegean Sea. After the first six days, Tarrés had opened up an advantage of 12 minutes and 14 seconds at the head of the overall general classification over Botturi in second, with a four-minute and 22-second buffer to the rider in third.

The duo were on the verge of re-writing the record books as they aimed to be the first riders on a twin-cylinder adventure bike competing in the B2 class to win the #rally against the 450cc prototypes in the B1 category, but there was all still to play for on the final day.

Saturday’s schedule involved a 18.22km liaison from the bivouac in Simav to the beginning of the 54.94km 14th stage on the Raiders Road. The riders then had a long 198.40km liaison to the start of the final 39.69km special of the #rally before a 22.39km liaison to the official podium ceremony.

Having taken the lead in the general classification on Day 3, Tarrés had the unenviable task of leading out the day's first special, as he has on many of the stages during the event. Despite the pressure, the 29-year-old showed no nerves and managed to maintain a good pace without taking any unnecessary risks to finish the stage in fifth. While it was the first time he had not been on the overall stage podium during the #rally, his time of 53 minutes and 53 seconds meant he only conceded two minutes and 24 seconds to the winner of the special.

After a long liaison, Tarrés went into stage 15, knowing precisely what he had to do to win his maiden #rally. The Andorran rode superbly, once again ensuring he made zero errors to record another fifth-place finish with a time of 40 minutes and 29 seconds, conceding just one minute and 22 seconds to the stage winner.

This meant that Tarrés, who was not 100% fit coming into the TransAnatolia after suffering a leg injury, had achieved his dream of winning a #rally at only the fifth attempt in his fledgeling career. His combined time of 16 hours, 10 minutes, and 10 seconds saw him finish with an 11-minute and seven-second advantage over his teammate in second. Tarrés secured the overall victory in impressive style on his GYRT-kitted Ténéré 700 World #rally, with two special stage victories and a further nine podiums to his name, leaving no doubt he is one to watch in the world of #rally raid.
