Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team All Set For 2016 Merzouga Rally

Enjoying stage wins and podium success during the first two rounds of the 2016 #fimcrosscountryralliesworldchampionship, Yamalube #yamaha Official #rally Team riders Helder Rodrigues and Adrien Van Beveren are now ready to take on their next challenge - contesting the first #event of the 2016 Dakar Series, the Merzouga #rally in south-east Morocco.

Following a strong start to the 2016 #rally season and an overall podium result in the Sealine Cross Country #rally in Qatar, highly-experienced Helder Rodrigues is confident he can challenge for top honours in this five-stage #event. Six years after claiming outright victory at the first edition of the Merzouga #rally, the Portuguese #rally star is no stranger to the dunes of Morocco. While focused on challenging for another victory, Helder and the entire Yamalube #yamaha Official #rally Team will also use the #event as an important training race ahead of the upcoming Dakar #rally.

Already a stage winner in his debut #rally #racing season, Rodrigues' teammate Adrien Van Beveren aims to continue his impressive 2016 campaign at the Merzouga #rally. Looking forward to more #racing time aboard his WR450F #rally machine, the Frenchman has already put his name amongst the favourites for stage victories in the dunes of Morocco. 

Kicking off with a Prologue on Sunday, May 22, the 2016 edition of the Merzouga #rally will see 122 participants set off for a six-day adventure of more than 1,000 kilometres in the dunes of south eastern Morocco.
