2015 Dakar Rally Stage 7 Motorcycle Results

Following the only rest day of the 2015 Dakar Rally, the competitors returned to racing Sunday for round seven. The stage, which took riders 445 miles from Iquique, Chile, to Uyuni, Bolivia, was the first marathon stage of 2015 Dakar Rally, meaning only the competitors were able to work on their motorcycles when the day was complete.

Taking the win – his second of 2015 Dakar Rally – was Team HRC Honda’s Paulo Gonclaves. The conditions were tough not only due to the high attitudes of stage six, but also some rain and snow in Uyuni.

Gonclaves teammate Helder Rodrigues – who won Friday’s stage six – was quickest in the beginning, but Gonclaves quickly caught up to him. The two then road together until Gonclaves begin picking up the pace. He was able to finish 14 seconds ahead of four-time Dakar winner Marc Coma (Red Bull KTM) and KTM-supported Matthias Walkner.

“This stage was great, I started in the front, and that’s always difficult as it’s very easy to lose time as you open the road. I pushed very hard, to stay at the front of the race,” Gonclaves says.

“I’m very happy, of course, with my result today. I never stopped pushing until the finish. This stage was very hard, mud, stones, and many bumps, unbelievably hard, but I won it and that’s great.

The most impressive performer on Sunday was the top Team HRC Honda CRF450 Rally pilot so far this year, Joan Barreda Bort. He had a quick start, but suffered a crash with 75 miles remaining, breaking his handlebar.

He was able to remount and finish the stage in 10th. This allowed him to retain the overall lead, which he has held since winning stage two. Due to Coma’s equally impressive performance, Barreda’s overall lead got cut in half; Coma now trails Barreda by a mere 6:28 minutes.

“It was a tough stage where you had to be careful, but when I came to a muddy section around kilometre 200, while I was breaking before a danger marked on the road book, the bike slid and I crashed,” Barreda says.

“The handlebars were damaged, so I had to do the last 120 kilometres just with the right hand. I was pushing hard to lose a minimum of time, but that was not easy. We are now at the marathon stage, we are a great team and we will solve the problem with my teammates.”

With his win, Goncalves is now closer to the leader; he trails Barreda by 10:59 minutes.

The conditions get tougher Monday for Stage 8, which takes riders 500 miles from Uyuni back to Iquique. But this stage has a huge timed special – the longest of the 2015 Dakar Rally at 485 miles. Riders will endure a gigantic ice lake, and if its surface is dry, riders will cross 30 at a time. If not, riders must ride around the edge of the lake.
