Yamaha Set To Fight For The Overall Podium During Dakar Rallys Final Two Stages Battling his way through an extremely technical and challenging stage 10 of this year’s Dakar Rally, Adrien Van Beveren currently finds himself fourth in the rally’s overall standings. With two stages left to be contested the Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider is now three minutes behind a provisional top three overall result. Promised by rally organisers to be the most technically demanding stage during the 2017 Dakar Rally, stage 10 from Chilecito to San Juan certainly lived up to everyone’s expectations. Entering today’s 450km-long timed special determined to retain or even improve on his third place overall result, Van Beveren frustratingly suffered one too many mistakes that saw the WR450F Rally mounted rider lose one spot in the provisional overall rankings. Determined to continue battling until the end, the Frenchman will give his best during tomorrow’s 288km-long timed special to regain his provisional position in the top three. Following a cautious plan of attack while making good use of his experience, Adrien’s Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team partner Hélder Rodrigues enjoyed the most successful stage of his 2017 Dakar Rally campaign so far. Claiming a well-deserved fifth place result from today’s stage, the rider from Portugal climbed five positions in the provisional overall standings, where he’s currently placed 11th. With two stages to go and less than three minutes separating Hélder from the rider provisionally holding 10th overall, the possibility remains of all three Yamaha Racing riders finishing inside the Dakar Rally’s top 10. Continuing to battle for the top, Xavier de Soultrait made a series of small navigational mistakes that forced the Yamaha France supported rider to settle for 22nd on today’s stage 10. Dropping to eighth in the provisional overall standings, Xavier is determined to push hard for the top six during the last two stages of the event. Tomorrow’s penultimate racing day at the Dakar Rally features the last over-100km-long timed special of this year’s rally. Taking riders from San Juan to the last bivouac in Río Cuarto it includes a timed special of 288km in a mix of dunes and WRC-styled dirt roads. Adrien Van Beveren – Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider 17th Stage 10 / 4th Overall Today I pushed really hard but things just didn’t happen like I hoped they would. It was a challenging stage with some trials styled sections and I’m happy we’ve reached its finish in one piece. My pace was good in the morning, but then I started making a few navigational mistakes here and there. Together with the time it takes to get back on the right track, the toughest part is that you lose your race pace. Following the mistakes in the morning I had a bad starting position in the second part of the special so took a lot of risks passing riders. It just wasn’t a good day but nothing is lost and nothing is gained. We still have tomorrow and then last day’s short stage. Our goal is the overall podium and we all know that anything could happen these next two days. Hélder Rodrigues – Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider 5th Stage 10 / 11th Overall The stage today suit my style perfectly and I enjoyed it a lot. Despite being extremely warm out there, I managed to stay focused on my navigation so avoided any big mistakes. It was a stage for the more experienced guys I guess and you had to treat it with respect. You had to take your time to study the road book and make sure you always stayed in the right track. That’s exactly what I did today and it turned out that I got my best stage result of this rally. I wish we had more stages like that this year. In any case, I’m now really pretty close to the riders in front of me in the overall and I will give my best during the final two stages to put my Yamaha inside the top 10. Xavier de Soultrait – Yamaha Viltaïs Experience Michelin FFM rider 22nd Stage 10 / 8th Overall Today was like a game of tactics. You had to remain 100% focused on navigation but also take good care of your speed. If you just went flat out you were simply increasing the chances to get lost. I had a good pace in the beginning of the special, but got caught up with some other riders and we rode together for most of its first part. It was almost impossible for me to pass and unfortunately we were all kind of making the same mistakes. It might be hard for me now to get on the podium as I was hoping I could do, but we’re still inside the top 10. It’s been such a tough Dakar that a top 10 finish would be a big success for me. In saying that, there’s still two days to go and I want to do my best to get as higher as possible in the overall. Alexandre Kowalski – Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team director One thing we know about the Dakar is that it doesn’t end before you cross the finish line. Today we had a tough stage but all three of our riders are still in the game for the finish. During our debriefing this afternoon once again we highlighted the importance of navigation and the need to avoid mistakes. We are all highly motivated to continue our battle to bring Yamaha inside the final podium. We have a great spirit as a team and each one of us will continue giving their best until we reach Buenos Aires. Before the start of the rally a top five result might have been a success for us. But we showed we’re more than capable to do better. The final podium remains our main goal and that’s what we all have our eyes set on. Dakar Rally 2017 – Stage 10 – Provisional Classification 1.

Peterhansel auf dem Weg zum nächsten Titel

11. Etappe von San Juan nach Río Cuarto (759 km):

Nach der elften Etappe der Rallye Dakar steht Stéphane Peterhansel vor dem Gewinn der Gesamtwertung. Es wäre sein 13. Titel. Auf dem vorletzten Teilstück der Rallye am Freitag wehrte der Franzose den Angriff seinen einzig verbliebenen Kontrahenten Sébastien Loeb ab. Zwar errang sein Landsmann den Etappensieg, allerdings fuhr Peterhansel nur 18 Sekunden hinter ihm über die Ziellinie.

Ist der 13. Titel kaum noch zu nehmen: Der französische Fahrer Stéphane Peterhansel.

Mit einem Vorsprung von 5:32 Minuten starten Peterhansel und sein Beifahrer Jean Paul Cottret am Samstag in die letzte Etappe der 39. Rallye Dakar, die von Rio Cuarto nach Buenos Aires führte. Insgesamt fließen dann nur noch 64 Kilometer in die Gesamtwertung ein, sodass der Peugeot-Fahrer auf dem Weg zu seinem siebten Titel in der Autowertung (sechs Motorradtitel) kaum noch gestoppt werden kann.

Der deutschen Co-Pilot Andreas Schulz holte mit dem argentinischen Fahrer Orlando Terranova auf der vorletzten Etappe den dritten Platz und damit eine gute Platzierung für das deutsche Team X-raid. Hinter ihnen lief der deutsche Beifahrer Dirk von Zitzewitz mit seinem Piloten Giniel de Villiers (Südafrika) auf Platz vier im Toyota ein.

Während in der Autowertung die endgültige Entscheidung noch aussteht, ist sie in der Motorrad-Wertung bereits gefallen. Der Brite Sam Sunderland (KTM) hat 33:09 Minuten Vorsprung auf den Österreicher Matthias Walkner (KTM).

Van Beveren Goes Into Attack Mode During Stage Three At Dakar Rally Enjoying a highly positive third day of competition at the 2017 Dakar Rally, Adrien Van Beveren moved closer to the top of the general standings where he’s now provisionally placed sixth overall. Continuing their strong runs all three of Adrien’s Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team partners along with WR450F mounted Xavier de Soultrait finished stage three without problems and are still in the battle for top honours at this year’s event. Featuring a timed special of 364km in the dust of the Argentinean northwest, stage three of this year’s Dakar Rally proved to be a great test for Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team riders’ navigational skills. Remaining focused on his goal for a good final result, Adrien Van Beveren rode a smart race to the finish in San Salvador de Jujuy. Completing the special in a total time of 04:43:21, the WR450F Rally mounted rider claimed a strong sixth place result. Looking to make the most out of his familiarity with the conditions Rodney Faggotter was the second fastest Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider finishing today’s stage three in 18th position. Gradually gaining back confidence following his fall during yesterday’s stage, the Aussie opted to take it steady to the finish of the day so that he can now focus on the remainder of the rally. Knowing there is still a long way to go until the finish line in Buenos Aires, Portugal’s Hélder Rodrigues rode a cautious race during stage three to come home in 23rd position. With the race now heading to the mountainous stages of Bolivia, the Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider is aiming to put his vast experience to use in order to start climbing closer to the top of the provisional overall standings. For Italy’s Alessandro Botturi it was a day of mixed emotions. Pushing hard for a good result from the first part of the timed special, the WR450F Rally mounted Italian lost a huge amount of time racing in the dust of the leading riders. Struggling to get a good race pace Alessandro finished the special with the 20th fastest time, but was hit by a 20-minute penalty due to missing a waypoint that dropped him to 27th in today’s results. Following his impressive ride yesterday that saw him claim third on stage two, Yamaha France supported Xavier de Soultrait was one of the first riders to take the start of today’s stage three. Assigned with the demanding task to open the tracks along with a small group of riders, the Frenchman suffered a series of mistakes that dropped him to 13th at the end of stage three. Yamaha remains a dominant force in the Quad category. With four Yamaha mounted riders topping today’s stage three, it was Argentina’s Gaston Gonzalez who got away with the stage victory aboard a YFM 700 machine. With three stages completed in this year’s event Yamaha supported Ignacio Casale is provisionally leading the overall standings in the class. Taking place at altitude of around 3,500m tomorrow’s stage four will be another tough test for all Dakar Rally competitors. Including a timed special of 416km the stage will take racers to Bolivia with the day’s bivouac set in the city of Tupiza at 3,000m above sea level. Adrien Van Beveren – Yamalube Yamaha Official Team rider 6th Stage 3 / 6th Overall Everything is going according to plan for me so far. Today I did my best to remain focused on my riding and navigation and it worked out pretty well for my day’s result. I’m now sixth in the provisional overall standings and pretty close to the group of leading riders. I’m really satisfied with my speed as well from today. It was almost impossible to make passes with all that dust in the special, but I stayed calm and went on the attack whenever I felt it was the right time to do so. My plan for this Dakar is clear – I want to take one step and one stage at a time, without rushing things or feeling stressed about things that I can’t control. I think if I remain focused on this goal I have quite a few chances to do well this year. Rodney Faggotter – Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider 18th Stage 3 It wasn’t a bad day for me. I was a bit sore from my crash yesterday, so decided to keep it steady and not take any risks. I took my time in the trickiest bits and it turned out I was gaining instead of losing time there. My goal from today was to bring my Yamaha home in one piece avoiding mistakes at any cost. Overall, it was mission accomplished from today’s stage and now we can move on to the next one. I believe the trickiest bit of the race are still to come, so I want to take things easy and focus on my own race. I believe the following few stages until we reach the rest day in La Paz will be crucial for the outcome of this year’s Dakar. Hélder Rodrigues – Yamalube Yamaha Official Team rider 23rd Stage 3 It was a hard day’s work today. With more than four hours of timed special, we spent around twelve hours on our bikes. The greatest challenge for today’s stage was its tricky navigation. There was also lots of dust from riders ahead and that made things a lot more difficult. I decided not to take any risks today and focused on bringing my bike home in one piece. We might have lost some time to the provisional overall leaders, but the race is long. We still have a good 7,000km to reach the finish so anything could happen. My plan is to remain focused on my riding and start pushing more and more as the race goes on. Alessandro Botturi – Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team rider 27th Stage 3 Today we were in for a really, really tough stage. Navigation was challenging from the start and it was almost impossible to get a good race pace. I spent time racing close to Joan Pedrero in the special. Passing riders was nearly impossible today with all that dust and there were some rookies that were taking one too many risks trying to avoid being passed. Riding in all that dust I was also forced to miss a waypoint. I’m not overly happy with my results from the stage, but it is what it is and we should move on. The race is long and there will be a lot more opportunities for me to show what I’m capable of, especially in the tricky mountainous stages that follow. Xavier de Soultrait – Yamaha Viltaïs Experience Michelin FFM rider 14th Stage 3 It was a very difficult stage. Following my third place yesterday I took the start of today’s stage among the leading group of riders and that turned out to be a disadvantage. Navigation was really tricky, especially in the beginning of the special, so we ended up getting lost lots of times and losing precious time. I’m glad this stage is over and I can now focus on tomorrow. The Dakar is so demanding and unpredictable and you can never expect to do great every day. I take things as they are and will continue fighting to get as close as possible to the top five. José Leloir � Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team manager Three stages into this Dakar and we’re satisfied with the progress made so far. These last two stages have been pretty demanding. It’s been a big test for both our riders and our bikes but we are still here and in the game for the top. Adrien did an excellent job today. He raced most of the special in the dust of other riders, but lived up to the challenge to gain several spots in the overall standings. The WR450F Rally has been running great in all kinds of conditions, even in the 4,500m of altitude of today’s special stage. For us the race has just started. We’re just three days into this year’s Dakar and we all know everything could happen. Our riders are highly motivated to succeed in this year’s event and we will all continue giving our best to bring Yamaha to the top. Dakar Rally 2017 – Stage 3 – Provisional Classification 1.
