Desafio Paraguarí 2023: Otazo-Elizeche at the top of the podium in podium in the "Desafio Paraguari".
Sensational was the first date of the Paraguayan Cross Country Championship 2023, the "Desafio Paraguari", which was much more complicated than expected by the riders.
After 2 very hard days in the T1 Nafta category, it had an infartante definition, since several of the competitors were able to alternate in the first location, until the Miller Otazo-Hugo Elizeche dupla with Mercedes Benz ML V8 won in a magnificent way for greater regularity.
Second in the classification was Bruno Fiore-Fernando Gonzalez, who despite some tire problems were able to put up a fight with the Isuzu Dimax and third was Luis Franco-Martin Martinez with Toyota Tacoma Proto V6.
Among the motorcycles, in the main category called Motorcycles, the winner was the rider from Lolita (Chaco Paraguayo) Gido Kranh with his GK Moto, followed by Rolando Martínez with a KTM and third was Damián Pedrozo with another KTM.
The next date of the Championship will be in principle in April in the Paraguayan Chaco, subject to confirmation in the coming days.
