DANIEL SANDERS OVERCOMES TOUGH PENULTIMATE STAGE OF DESAFIO RUTA 40

RED BULL GASGAS FACTORY RACING STAR DELIVERS ANOTHER CONSISTENT RIDE ON FOURTH STAGE OF ARGENTINIAN RALLY


Day four of the Desafio Ruta 40 proved to be a serious test for all, but Daniel Sanders remained unfazed and got on with the job at hand! The Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing rider delivered a solid ride on the 391-kilometer timed special to ultimately finish 11th after receiving a six-minute penalty for speeding. However, Daniel’s consistency has paid off and he maintains his eighth place in the overall standings with one stage left to race.

  • 11th place for Daniel Sanders on technical stage four
  • Chucky remains eighth in overall standings
  • Just one day left to race at the 2024 Desafio Ruta 40
Setting off on the mammoth 657-kilometer stage to La Rioja in fourth place thanks to his impressive stage three result, Daniel welcomed a change in terrain from previous days. Making up time as the day went on, the Aussie found his rhythm on his RX 450F and enjoyed a relatively straightforward day. Initially posting the seventh-fastest time, a six-minute speeding penalty forced Chucky into 11th place. With one day left to contest, Daniel keeps his spot in eighth overall. Let’s fight to the finish!

Daniel Sanders: “Today was a really interesting day, the terrain this morning was all sand which I’m normally quite comfortable with but I couldn’t get the speed initially. Also, the cold temperatures caused a lot of mist which made everything that little bit more difficult. I survived though, pushed on as much as I could and tried not to lose too much time. The last half of the stage was completely different and a lot faster. A long day on the bike overall, but I enjoyed it and I’m ready to take on the last day tomorrow.”
