Rally of Morocco 2021: António Maio regains a position in the general classification

Portuguese rider keeps leadership among privateers in Rallye du Maroc

António Maio recovered the 16th position in the overall classification after today, in the 4th stage of the Rallye du Maroc, he set the 18th fastest time, just behind Ricky Brabec, the pilot who won yesterday's stage.

The Portuguese Cross-Country Champion, riding a Yamaha, continues, after the 367.43 kilometers of the longest stage of the Moroccan race, to be the best private driver in this African marathon.

"Today's stage went well. I got a lot of dust from the driver ahead of me. I only managed to overtake him at km 150. I kept a good pace, but I made a small mistake: I was on the right track, but I didn't notice a waypoint and didn't validate it. I suffered a 15-minute penalty that will most likely be reflected in the standings. The bike feels great. It was a very fast and dangerous race, with a lot of rock", (complete declarations here), told the Portuguese rider.

Tomorrow the last stage of the Rallye du Maroc will be held, which includes a selective sector with 291.19 kilometers of special stage.
