The pilots of the Coast 2 Coast 2024 Rally presented by Peñafiel started the second day of competition in the Peñafiel1 stage, with a very pleasant warm-regular weather. Already rested, they proceeded to prepare early in the morning to start the second stage called Peñafiel1, which would travel from Jalcomulco to finish at the Peñafiel plant in San Nicolás Tetitzintla in Tehuacán, Puebla.

The daring traveling competitors set out to cover a distance of 166 kilometers over semi-desert, medium and subtropical forest areas as they moved away from the last eastern foothills of the Cofre de Perote. Once again, the entire group of organizers and pilots enjoyed the wonderful scenery that the stage offered us, with its lakes, rivers and rugged terrain.

Without letting go of the overall lead and separating himself from second place, American rider Mike Johnson took first place for the second consecutive day at the end of Stage 2 of the Coast 2 Coast Cross Country Raid Rally presented by Peñafiel according to preliminary and unofficial results.

Mike Johnson aboard his Husqvarna FE 450 marked with the number 12 dominated the RallyPro category with an unofficial time of 3:48:36 h, moving up to second place the Canadian, Matt Ransom, with a time of 3:55:47 h, who during the first day was in third place which today was occupied by Alex Torres with a time of 3:57:34 h.

In the Rally1 class (Two Wheels Novice Intermediate with roadbook), José Manuel Muñoz Jr. with his KTM 890 R #24 finished in a time of 4:13:46 h; in second place and moving up one position was for L.
