Rallye du Maroc 2022: Erik van Loon praises Delaunay in difficult stage

Anja van Loon does not get surprised in third stage

During the third stage of the Rallye du Maroc, Erik van Loon and Sébastien Delaunay once again manage to record the fourth fastest time. In a stage with heavy dunes and tricky navigation, they make no mistakes and, thanks to a good strategy, manage to get a good result.

"Today we are competing with the real top teams," says Erik van Loon. "It's a pity that we no longer play a role in the standings, because with our results today and yesterday we would be on the podium course. It was really tough today, tricky dunes and difficult navigation. That's where Sébastien really did a great job. We rode watched, kept our heads cool and worked really well together today and that brings us fourth time again."

In the very tough dunes of the third stage in the Rallye du Maroc, Anja van Loon and Lisette Bakker managed to reach the finish. "But that didn't go without a struggle. Pretty early in the test we got stuck in the dunes, we came over the dune and there were already 5 stuck. After some digging we were able to continue, then we had a puncture and the jack broke. Then we had to wait a while for help, but otherwise it went really well. A lot happened today, but for the most part we were spared. We didn't let ourselves be surprised. It was a really nice stage, on to tomorrow!"

The fourth stage goes from Laâyoune to Tan Tan and is 350 kilometers long. It promises to be another stage with lots of sand and dunes.
