Dakar motorcycle 2020 stage 11: Quintanilla (Husqvarna) doubles the stake !

Dakar - Dakar motorcycle 2020 stage 11: Quintanilla (Husqvarna) doubles the stake! -

Pablo Quintanilla takes 12 minutes in one fell swoop from Dakar 2020 leader Ricky Brabec, thanks to an 11th stage successfully completed on his Husqvarna! The Honda official, cautious during this penultimate day, still keeps 14 minutes ahead of the provisional … Report and rankings.

Argentinian rider Pablo Quintanilla scored twice with this victory: he scored his second success in Saudi Arabia after winning and solidly consolidates his second place in the provisional behind Ricky Brabec (Honda). Not bad for a driver who suffers from the wrist since a fall at the start of the rally !

  • Dakar motorcycle stage 10:
  • MNC special file :

Better still: the n ° 5 practically halved his delay on the HRC strongman, going from 25’44 to 13’56 on the eve of the last stage! Brabec lost a lot of time adopting a defensive posture on this 11th day: he finished the special in 10th place, 11’48 behind Quintanilla.

The American on his Honda nevertheless maintains a comfortable lead over the Argentinian, but must not commit any navigation blunder tomorrow! Quintanilla will have no other choice but to whip, hoping for a mistake from his rival. The task promises to be difficult, but not impossible…

"I’m very happy with this stage, it’s always a pleasure to win a stage," said Quintanilla. "I took a lot of time from Ricky but there is still a big gap. We still have a few miles to attack tomorrow".

Quintanilla, KTM’s last bulwark against Honda ?

The Husqvarna clan is crossing their fingers … as well as KTM, owner of the manufacturer: even if it means interrupting its series of 18 consecutive successes for "Katoche", as much as it is with the other brand of the group! Toby Price and Matthias Walkner, 4th and 5th respectively in the provisional, seem effectively out of the way at 22’34 and 29’53 behind the leader.

Walkner nevertheless achieved a fantastic 11th stage: the Austrian finished 2nd just 9 seconds (!) Behind Quintanilla, after having temporarily ahead of him by a tiny second! Speed-racing track gaps as drivers leap from dunes to dunes in search of the best course.

This ultra tight finish made the end of the stage thrilling, as did the superb fight for third place finally won by Luciano Benavides (KTM) for a handful of seconds over Jose Cornejo (Honda). The defending champion Price closes the Top 5 at 5’49 and takes six minutes in Brabec: insufficient to really worry his probable successor…

"We had a good stage but now Honda just has to protect its leadership," confirms Toby Price. "Their drivers drive fast, well and intelligently: that only makes it harder for us to catch up. We’re doing the best we can, we’re trying to stay in the game …"

On the other hand, Joan Barreda (Honda) had a poor performance, who opened the track following his: the Spaniard finished in 12th place at almost a quarter of an hour (14’48) for want of having found the right path. Once again, "Bang Bang" appears formidable in pure speed but perfectible in navigation…

On the French side, Adrien Metge took 17th position on his Sherco just ahead of Laia Sanz’s Gas Gas. The tricolor is in 12th place overall and the Spanish in 17th. Franco Caimi, 7th on the stage, is the first Yamaha rider provisionally ranked in 8th place.
