Today was a really tough stage due to the extremely high temperature and a long special stage. Our riders managed to go through the whole day with Ben Smith who gained some positions and now sits in 13th overall in the general standings. The slovakian Zatko was consistent keeping his pace throughout the day. Unfortunately our swedish Tony Landh had a little problem with the spark plug and lost some time. Burroughs and Patston continue to ride together aiming at their main objective which is just to finish. Up to now on the Yamaha WR450F Rally bikes have just gone through regular maintenance (Air Filter, Oil, Oil Filter) made by our partners Crazy Camel Racing managed by James West, whereas our Manuel Lucchese re-mapped all the bikes ECU to adapt them to the change of terrain from day 1. Here some photos of the day:
