The Botswanan hero Ross Branch delivered an impressive performance, finishing the stage with the 5th fastest time. His teammate, Nacho Cornejo also demonstrated remarkable resilience, securing the 12th place.
With this result, Ross maintains his 3rd position in the overall rankings, a mere 4 seconds behind the second-place holder. Nacho has also been showcasing a strong performance since the start of the race, and now holds an impressive 9th overall position in the rally.
The Hero 450 Rally has been showing remarkable resilience and performance in the Dakar Rally for years now. Completing the 48H Chrono stage yet again without any major issues is a testament to the bike's reliability and the team's outstanding engineering.
Stage 2 was a unique stage, spanning 1006 km over two days. Competitors were required to halt at the nearest of the six designated Break Point zones at 5 pm on Day 1, where they received minimal camping gear and rations to survive the night. By the end of Day 1, both Hero riders had covered 609 km reaching BP E - the second last break point. Starting early today, the competitors continued on the remaining 338 km distance of the special to reach the finish line. To complete the second half of the challenging stage, riders set off on Monday morning in the same order they arrived at their respective rest points.
With tomorrow’s Stage 3, the rally now moves northwards to Al Henakiah, featuring 496 km of timed specials. The stage begins with technical sections, followed by fast stretches that demand high-speed skills. While these fast stages offer opportunities for gains, they also pose significant risks, and a single mistake can prove costly for the competitors.
