Dakar moto – stage 11: Meo takes his place and Gonçalves retires…

By winning the 11th stage of the Dakar, the French Antoine Meo (KTM) signs his second victory and goes from fourth to third place overall, after a great fight with Pablo Quintanilla (Husqvarna).

By winning the 11th stage of the Dakar, the French Antoine Meo (KTM) signs his and goes from fourth to third place overall, after a good fight with Pablo Quintanilla (Husqvarna).

For his part, Toby Price (KTM) further increased his lead overall and now counted more than 35 ‘over Stefan Svitko (KTM) while Paulo Gonçalves (Honda) retired with a crash…

Separated by 1’15 ” at the start of the stage, Meo and Quintanilla clashed throughout the stage, the French taking advantage of the Chilean’s brake problems to win and relegate his opponent to 2’38 ”.

"Something crazy !"

"It’s a crazy thing, I wasn’t hoping for so much!", Rejoices Antoine after his second stage victory in the Dakar 2016: "it’s still incredible. I caught up with Pablo (Gonçalves, Editor‘s note) before his fall, it’s a shame for him because he still managed to start again. I’m satisfied because for my first year, I managed to grab third place! It was complicated in navigation today, they all made mistakes and I took advantage of it. A beautiful day. Yet at one point I was alone, it was going way too fast for me and I missed a bit of road- book. I went back to the previous point, to realize that I was already on the right track. It’s annoying, but that’s how I learn. I don’t know yet what I’m going to do for the last two stages. It’s my first year, I’m here to learn, so we’ll see what we decide tonight ".

Stefan Svitko, only fifth today more than 12 minutes from Meo, can also be worried: in second position overall, he is only 8’23 ” ahead of the French. Two steps from the finish in Rosario, can Meo go and find Svitko? To be continued on MNC: stay connected !
