Despite feeling "worse than dog crap" and a crash that caused his airbag to deploy. Ricky Brabec fought to the finish of DESAFIO RUTA 40 in Argentina. Brabec entered the final stage needing to stay ahead of Luciano Benavides to maintain his podium position overall... but he let it all hang out! Just 87 km into the special, he was only two seconds behind Stage leader Daniel Sanders before moving into the lead at the next checkpoint. The battle between the pair continued throughout the day, with Brabec eventually finishing second on the Stage, just 50 seconds back. His impressive performance secured third overall, his third consecutive podium finish at this rally. "Desafío Ruta 40 was good. I got sick on day two, so I’ve been battling sickness all week and that was irritating. I’m not feeling so good right now but I’m happy to get away with no injuries and a solid finish. Now it’s summer break, we’ll go home and recover and we’ll keep pushing forward for the Dakar Rally."
P5 For Final Stage and P5 for Skyler Howes 10 at the DESAFIO RUTA 40 Rally in Argentina. Despite technical difficulties with his route book tablet — twice — Howes chased his teammates the whole Rally. "I came away with a fifth place overall," he said. "Obviously, I want better results but this week we were testing and doing a lot of things with the settings and changes on the bike and so this is how it goes sometimes. The result might not be what we want but I had a successful race, some good Stage finishes and really good improvement with the bike and the team, so I’m happy. "I came away healthy, no major issues with myself or the bike and no big crashes. So a successful race and looking forward now to some time off to train and focus and test more with the team and come back stronger and swinging at the next one!"
That's a wrap from Ruta. Rally 2 rookie Preston Campbell experienced the highs of winning his first Stage in the World Rally-Raid Championship to the low of losing his route book tablet and dropping off the podium in Argentina. "I enjoyed the last stage in the desert," claimed Campbell. "I am stoked to get my first Stage win this week, but had some other tough days. Thank you to Monster Energy HRC - Honda Racing Corporation for their support and effort!" Offsetting his Stage win, Campbell crashed on the penultimate day. He fought through to finish 6th on the final sStage after spending much of the week in provisional podium contention.The Rally 2 Dakar Rally runner-up narrowly missed out in 4th overall at DESAFIO RUTA 40 but remains P3 in the championship standings heading into the next round. The team will now regroup for the Rallye du Maroc starting on September 28th.
