For Oriol Mena of Hero
MotoSports Team Rally, however it looked like a different rally altogether as
he attacked from the very beginning, consistently maintaining his top 15
position through the day. He finished the tenth stage in a very commendable 4th
position, his best Dakar stage yet, owing to his gritty performance and
flawless navigation. He also stopped and called for rescue for a fellow rider
who crashed in front of him, displaying excellent sportsman’s spirit. Overall
he stands at the 14th position at the end of stage 10 breaking into the top 15
rankings for the first time.
Santosh started the stage
quite well until he had a really bad crash in the second half of the stage that
knocked him out for some time. With the help of a quick intervention from the
team, Santosh managed to finish the difficult stage at the 44th position,
helping him to finish at the 40th position overall at the end of stage 10.
Stage 10 of the Dakar Rally
was the first full stage in Argentina with a total run of 797 km out of which
373 kms were allocated to the special stage and an initial long liaison of 424
kms. It was meant to be navigation contest, however, as the day progressed, the
day turned into chaos, as the bad news of crashes, exits and riders getting
lost kept on trickling into the bivouac through the day.
Stage 11 is going to be the 2nd Marathon stage
for the bike category.
