Buhler successfully completes Stage 5 of Dakar Rally

 

Ha’il (Saudi Arabia)- Hero MotoSports Team Rally rider Sebastian Buhler successfully completed Stage 5 of the Dakar Rally 2023, finishing the 650km gruelling stretch with the 13th fastest time here.

The German was the best among three Hero riders competing in the event, and was followed by Argentina’s Franco Caimi in 18th and Botswana’s Ross Branch in 21st position in the Rally GP Class.

Buhler and Branch had to start later in the day towards the back of the group due to the time losses in the previous stage but the duo negotiated the sandy tracks and vast expanses of dunes and camel grass, displaying fine manoeuvring skills.
