A stage that was dreaded by all the riders because it was announced that it was a particularly difficult one on the eve of the arrival in Jeddah. A stage which kept its promises that had complex navigation in the middle of the dunes and at the bottom of the many valleys, demanding terrain with camel grass and riverbeds which challenged the progress of our riders. Having gone further this morning, Harith Noah took advantage of the opportunity and completed a fine special. He climbed back up in the general classification despite the difficulties of the terrain and the pitfalls of navigation and ended up in 18th position at the finish. An excellent performance for our Indian rider who won’t give up until the finish line. Well done, Harit. The second week of racing is coming to an end, one which will have put our riders and the whole team to the test. The team worked every evening to adjust, adjust, and improve the new machines and allow our 3 riders to reach the finish line in Jeddah tomorrow! |
