Riders Keep Overcoming these Mechanical IssuesÂ
Key points: Rider #43 Alec Brawner is back to the race on a rental bike, while #10 Paul Neff is sandwiched between the Brawner brothers on the stage podium. The third marathon stage of the Baja Rally is also a rare day, when everyone made it through the whole Special without becoming lost, injured or stuck with a mechanical problem.Â
Portrait of the Stage. What was supposed to be the longest and most challenging stage of the race, the Marathon Stage was most affected by recent Hurricane Kay. The organizers had to cut the track down to 110 miles, introducing a relaxed 105-mile liaison by the sea. There were four full hours to cool down after the special, stop and take photos before arriving at the Parc Fermé. The Special kept the riders on alert, though, with a lot of hazards, ditches, sharp stones, erosion and other gifts left by the storm. All while striking views of the sea offered riders a bit of distraction on top of it. During the previous stage, the racers had to do a large part in a blinding fog, taking their goggles off to avoid constantly wiping them.Â
?Today was beautiful and very green. We could also see desert purple and pink because of flowers, and then you arrive to the ocean? I saw a coyote! Comparing Days One and Two it was less technical, a nice flow.? ? Stephie Schinke...
