New Delhi, Nov 8 (UNI) Hero MotoSports Team Rally, has won the BAJA Portalegre Rally in Spain led by Sebastian Buhler and in the process also won the 2020 FIM Cross-Country BAJAs World Cup.
Continuing his outstanding performance this season, Buhler won both the BAJA events this season – the BAJA Do Pinhal and BAJA Portalegre.
The Team had more reason to celebrate today as Joaquim Rodrigues also delivered a podium finish, his first of the season, with a 2nd place finish at the Rally.
Making a comeback into the competitive racing recently, Hero MotoSports Team Rally could not have asked for a better preparation leading into the Dakar 2021.
The Super Special 3 today was shortened significantly to 79 kms in the view of heavy rains rendering many parts of the original 330 kms stage unsafe for competition.
This year the Road to Dakar for the team has been very short yet productive with a lot of positives. Riding into the Dakar 2021 the Team carries a lot of momentum with the fantastic performance of their newest Hero Sebastian Buhler, the inspiring comeback of Joaquim Rodrigues, the ever-improving performances of C S Santosh and the flawless performance of their 2021 Dakar bike.
Now all eyes and focus will shift to Saudi Arabia where the Dakar 2021 is slated to be conducted from January 3-15, 2021.
