After a day of rest, the Africa Eco Race finally left Morocco this Monday, in a sixth stage where Pol Tarres was the winner.
The 204.63km link was between Dakhla, in Morocco, and Chami, in Mauritania. Tarres (Yamaha Ténéré World Raid Team) was the fastest, completing the route in 1h51m43s. With that, he surpassed Jacopo Cerutti (Aprilia Racing GCorse) by 1m07s, followed by Alessandro Botturi (Yamaha Ténéré World Raid Team). The top five fastest were completed by Alessandro Ruoso (Twinsbike Racing Team/Yamaha) in his best result so far and by Francesco Montanari (Aprilia Racing GCorse).
At the beginning of the second week, Cerutti continues to be the leader of the overall classification, with a 1m58s advantage over Tarres who overtook Botturi again to rise to second. Giovanni Gritti (RSMoto Racing Team Honda Oil) and Alexandre Vaudan (Casteu Trophy/KTM) complete the top five. The day was marked by the abandonment of Guillaume Borne (Casteu Trophy/Husqvarna), who was fourth.
