The Rally, which concluded near the town of Erfoud, in Morocco, featured an Indian contingent from Sherco-TVS and Hero Motorsport with a total of six riders participating. Sherco-TVS rider Juan Pedrero finished quickest of the lot – crossing the line in 4th at the end of six days. Hero’s 9th placed Joaquim Rodrigues followed.

Before turning off their engines, riders covered a total of 1,200km through the Moroccon desert. CS Santosh was the top finisher in 17th place, followed by Sherco-TVS’ Aravind KP in 21st. His teammate Abdul Wahid Tanveer, who was making his international rallying debut, finished a highly credible 27th.

Sherco-TVS’ third rider Adrien Metge suffered from a technical issue early on and finished a distant 53rd. CS Santosh said, “What a great end to a fantastic six days of racing here in Morocco. I came here with the target to gain experience and finish the rally with a decent result. I’m happy to have achieved both. Overall, an exciting and purposeful rally for the whole team.”
