A fantastic start for Tobias Ebster, taking the win in the Rally2 class! Meanwhile, the rest of the team faced a tougher day.
Bradley Cox fought through heavy dust in a crowded pack, making it hard to break away.
Mathieu Doveze overcame technical issues with the new digital road book to finish strong, while Michael Docherty pushed through the pain of a cracked shoulder blade after a crash to cross the line. Toni Mulec and Toby Hederics both rode well but lost time to late navigation errors.
It’s still a long race to the finish, and the team is ready for the grueling 48-hour chrono stage ahead!
