Caution was the strategy for this first timed test ! After three days of set-up and checks, the race is on for the Sherco Factory Rally Team! The riders left and rode the very slippery 13 km prologue using extreme caution. The route went around the base Sea Camp, on the shores of the Red Sea. All of the riders followed the instructions of the team manager David Casteu, who asked them to remain in the background and play it safe to ensure that everyone finished this short stage. A strategy of caution that proved to be judicious as a rider who started in front of them had a bad fall and finished his Dakar a few meters after the start. Another objective was to also start behind the race leaders tomorrow and follow in their tracks. “The riders followed the instructions well, the bikes are working great, and the atmosphere is excellent within the team, which bodes well for the future! “. Results of the day: Lorenzo Santolino: P24 Rui Gonçalvez: P25 Harit Noah: P47 Lorenzo Santolino: “The special was very fast and slippery. I made a small error, but the sensations were very good! We are waiting for tomorrow's starting order, the day which will be the real start of the race, the start of the premier race of the year!” Tomorrow, the riders are getting down to business with a 603 km stage, including 368 km of special. The stage forms a loop, the start and finish will be at Seacamp.
