Martim Ventura ends the Moroccan rally with 3rd place in Rally2 and 8th overall
The bp Ultimate Adventure Team concluded another international outing with remarkable results, this time at the Rallye du Maroc, the final round of the World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). In the fifth and final stage of the Moroccan event — a 247 km timed section around Erfoud — young rider Martim Ventura delivered an excellent performance, finishing third in the Rally2 category and eighth overall among the motorcycles.
“I’m very happy with this rally and with the pace I managed to set. The first race was in Portugal, but we know that for proper preparation ahead of the Dakar Rally, the Rallye du Maroc is extremely important. I’m really pleased — the pace was strong. This was my first year in this type of event, and being able to show such speed is very rewarding for me. The rally could have gone even better if not for the mousse problem I had on the second day. But I’m satisfied — today I had a great stage, and I leave Morocco with good feelings and confidence for Dakar,” said Martim Ventura, who, with this result, once again confirmed his talent and consistency, successfully completing one of the most technically demanding races on the calendar.
This was another important milestone for the young bp Ultimate Adventure Team rider in his preparation for the Dakar Rally. The team’s next major challenge will take place in Portugal, from October 23 to 25, at the legendary Baja Portalegre 500.
