Strong Opening Stage Performances For Yamaha Riders At Sardinia Rally

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Enjoying a positive first full day of #racing in the enduro-styled tracks of Sardinia, the Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team wrapped up stage one of the Sardinia Rally earning results inside the top eight. With four more long stages remaining, and a little more than 1,100km of #racing, all three team riders are well placed for strong end-of-event results.

Being the 11th rider to kick off today's special stage Helder Rodrigues had to work hard to move himself close to the leading group. Second in the first special stage, the Portuguese rider opted not to take any unnecessary risks in the second special and settled for fourth overall at the end of stage one.

For Helder's Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team partner Adrien Van Beveren today's stage was another big lesson in rally navigation. Being the fifth rider to start the special stage the Frenchman quickly found himself in the lead of the race, opening the tracks ahead of all other riders. Making the most out of this experience he finished the day with the sixth fastest time.

Starting the day's stage confident that he could push for a good result, Alessandro Botturi felt a minor pain on his wrist a few kilometres after the start of the special stage. Making sure he stayed away from any navigational mistakes the Italian crossed the finish line in eighth position.

Fastest in both special stages, #yamaha WR450F mounted Xavier de Soultrait went on to claim the stage victory and provisionally put himself at the top of the rally's overall standings.

Getting a very positive first taste of rally #racing #yamaha Motor Europe Chief Operating Officer Eric de Seynes made the most of his limited time in Sardinia by contesting the first 70km special stage of the day. His teammate Camelia Liparoti will now continue the race alone, assigned with the task to pilot their #yamaha YXZ1000R machine to the finish of this rally.

Stage two at the Sardinia Rally will see competitors race a distance of 310km as they head south towards the city of Sa Itria. The stage marks the first part of the two-day-long marathon stage.
