The Ténéré Yamaha Rally Team’s Alessandro Botturi showcased his dominance in the 2024 Africa Eco Race by clinching his second stage win on the challenging seventh timed special. The captivating victory that saw him overcome a demanding 453km course of sand and punishing dunes. Botturi’s strategic prowess and impressive riding have positioned him just one minute behind the current rally leader, Jacopo Cerutti. Meanwhile, teammate Pol Tarrés faced some setbacks but remains determined to make a strong comeback in the remaining stages.

Stage seven of the Africa Eco Race proved to be a formidable test for the competitors. They navigated a looping 453km timed special entirely on sand. The terrain was challenging, with punishing dunes midway through the stage. Riders had to showcase not just speed but also exceptional physical endurance.

Alessandro Botturi entered the seventh stage with a clear goal – to claim victory and narrow the gap with the provisional overall race leader.

Setting off with determination, the Italian rider quickly established a blistering pace. He overtook both his countryman and rally leader, Jacopo Cerutti, and his Ténéré Yamaha Rally Team teammate, Pol Tarrés. Botturi crossed the finish line two minutes ahead of his competitors. His stellar performance positions him just one minute behind Cerutti. There are five stages left in the race.

Pol Tarrés, the stage six winner, faced a slightly frustrating day on the challenging seventh stage. He encountered minor technical issues with his Ténéré 700 machine. Tarrés endured further setbacks by missing a crucial waypoint, resulting in a 15-minute time penalty. Despite these challenges, the Andorran rider remains resilient and focused on securing additional stage victories as the race progresses.

As the Africa Eco Race continues, stage eight promises more sand and navigational challenges for all riders. Departing from the same starting point as stage seven, competitors will need to navigate through the early part of the special with precision. Two demanding dune sections will add an extra layer of difficulty. It demands the full attention and skill of each participant as they strive for success in this gruelling rally.

Alessandro Botturi’s outstanding performance in stage seven has set the stage for an intense battle for the overall victory in the 2024 Africa Eco Race. With challenges aplenty, both Botturi and Tarrés showcase the resilience and determination required in the world of rally racing. As the riders gear up for stage eight, the competition remains fierce The next stages promise more thrilling moments and unforeseen challenges.
