2021-05-18 10:41:36 Carlos Sainz:

It was disappointing to see the footage of what happened in yesterday's last stage . A driver of Nasser's calibre doesn't need to take a shortcut on order to fight for a victory. Last year he did a similar action to this one and for this event the organizers (ASO) were very clear in stating that not following the road book and the defined routes would imply a very serious penalty. Sadly, the stewards (FIA) closed this incident with just a two-minute penalty. Which is inconsistent with everything that we had discussed in our briefings with the organization.

The Andalucia Rally races through farmlands. Private lands and protected areas. Shortcutting the course is unsportsmanlike, and it puts risk not only the future editions of this wonderful rally, but even worse, the spectators and other competitors. Actions like this one are not a good example for our sport. Hopefully it won't happen again. Open / Comment

2021-05-17 01:43:19 Andalucia Rally 2021: victory for Barreda and Al-Attiyah

After 1086 km of special stage, over the hills and plains of Andalusia, victory in the bike class went to Joan Barreda (Monster Energy Honda) 03'28 ahead of compatriot Lorenzo Santolino (Sherco Factory) with Honda Monster Energy's new recruit the Chilean Pablo Quintanilla 3rd at 10'29. The quad category saw Sebastien Souday (All Tracks) win his class ahead of Vincent Padrona (Drag'on) with Toni Vingut (Visit St Antoni Ibiza) third. The much-coveted Challenge Road to Dakar prize goes to an impressive Julien Jagu (LG Racing), 11th overall at 49'49, while Enduro Cup honours were taken by Mitchel Van Den Brink (Bas Dakar Team) who wins an entry for the Rallye du Maroc.

In the cars Nasser Al-Attiyah (Nasser Racing) took the win just 0'43 in front of Carlos Sainz (Mini John Cooper Works Rally) after receiving a 2 minute penalty for cutting the course. Yazeed Al Rajhi (Toyota Hilux Overdrive) third at 13'26. The T3 class for lightweight vehicles was turned upside down when leader Guillaume de Mevius broke his gearbox on the last stage, handing victory to his Red Bull Junior Team Cristina Gutierrez. Second was Lionel Baud in his PH-Sport Zephyr with Geoffrey Moreau third (MMP RallyRaid). The T4 SSV class battle that everyone was expecting to go down to the wire failed to materialise due to gearbox problems for Khalifa Al-Attiyah (South Racing), allowing Austin Jones (Monster Energy Can-Am) to win the category. The SSV Challenge Road to Dakar prize was picked up by the Argentinian David Zille (South Racing).
