Quintanilla rises in the Morocco desert
In a very long day that started at 4 am leaving the bivouac, it was time to get into real action with the first stage of the Rallye du Maroc after yesterday’s prologue. Starting at the coastal city of Agadir, the road-book unfolded in the direction of the south, having the final destination in Zagora. For the riders it was a true rollercoaster of emotions, demanding full attention along a mix of gravel tracks, dirt tracks, sand and dunes. In total there were more than 700 kilometers to cover, a liaison of 397 km and a 314 km Special Section.
Monster Energy Honda Team riders experienced different feelings along the way. Pablo Quintanilla was certainly the most successful with his second place on Stage one, a performance that allowed the Chilean also to climb into second place in the overall rankings. His fellow countryman José Ignacio Cornejo was 7th today in front of Frenchman Adrien Van Beveren. Ricky Brabec, who was second yesterday on the prologue, could not reach the end of the stage due to fuel problems. This means he is out of the race.
Tomorrow it’s time for stage two with a circuit with start and arrival in Zagora. There will be a 100 km liaison and 296 km of Special Stage to race. The menu will be similar to the one that was served today, mixing gravel tracks, dirt roads, sand and dunes.
