Dakar 2012, Stage 13
Nasca - Pisco
375 km in total, 275 km special test
Yet another top result
The penultimate stage of the Dakar 2012 provided one more
strong result for the Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain.
Joan Barreda and Paulo Goncalves finished not far behind
today´s winner in what´s been the final demanding test of
this year´s race.
Barreda and Goncalves were understandably aiming at a top
score. They both delivered. Joan had closed in on Marc Coma
soon after the start. But a small navigation mistake made
him drop back for a little time. The talented Spaniard
bounced back and then took command of the proceedings. He
arrived at the finish in a well deserved fourth
position.
Paulo Goncalves was just 33 seconds behind. The Portuguese
earned fifth position on the day, after having made a minor
mistake and still running with the front guys.
Jose Manuel Pellicer and Zé Hélio were having fun on the
ride from Nasca to Pisco. The dunes and landscape proved
fascinating and very challenging in terms of
navigation.
Everything okay was the summary of the team ahead of the
final stage. The Dakar 2012 ends tomorrow in Lima.
The Peruvian capital will be reached after 245 km of
connecting stage and a very short special test (29 km).
Then it´s time to celebrate.
