Team Bianchi Prata Honda - Marco de Canaveses rider with the title still in his sights
Pedro Bianchi Prata had a very positive start to the Dubai International Baja today, finishing fourth fastest in the prologue of the final round of the FIM Bajas World Cup, in which he aims to win the title of Bajas World Champion and victory among the Veterans.
The rider, who has a long career of 31 years' experience and is a reference in off-road racing at home and abroad, placed seventh in the absolute classification, which includes motorcycles and quads. This position in the Top 10 allowed him to be in the starting order for tomorrow's first stage of 168.40 timed kilometers, for which he chose to start from fifth position.
Pedro Bianchi Prata's cautious approach to the race on this first day allowed him to do "a prologue that went well. It was a short special at night. There were only a few lights from the organization and the bikes. The show was more for the public, as we were in the city center. I opted for a safe pace, without taking any risks. The goal is the championship, which can only be won if the bike enters the Closed Park on Sunday, so until then I'm opting to be fast without taking any risks," said the rider at the end of this first day of racing, who is currently in a podium position in both the FIM Bajas World Cup and for whom achieving the coveted title is possible.
The Dubai International Baja continues tomorrow and ends on Sunday with the final selective sector of 169.05 km.
