Sebastian Buhler of Hero MotoSports Team Rally delivered a strong performance to win the second stage of the Rally Raid Portugal on Friday.
The victory propelled Buhler, a native of Portugal, to second place in overall rankings, a big leap from his sixth place finish after Stage 1.
This is the young rider's first Stage victory so far in the FIM World Rally Raid Championship.
"Stage 2 was a little longer than Stage 1. I tried to push right from the beginning because there was a lot of water on the tracks due to the rains. We will continue pushing through this week for the best final result," said Buhler after the race.
