Cyril Despres takes second stage win at Desafio Litoral Rally: Stage four of six stage-rally in Argentina, part of the Dakar Series

KTM Rally champion Cyril Despres reached the second stage win at Desafio Litoral Rally. This was his second win which extended his overall lead in the race that to almost six minutes. Cyril was keen to make up lost time due to time lost in the previous day's event which had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions making it difficult for racers to continue.

The French racer was satisfied with his performance astride a KTM450 while the track was better, flatter and did not include any jungle trails as seen in the first two stages of the race. Cyril picked up pace in stage four with his average speed at 120 kmph. He felt in control of the race and bike performed upto expectations.

Taddy Blazusiak returned to the race after crashing in stage two. The EnduroCross world champion rejoined the race even though he still felt a bit of pain from his crash. There are only two days left of Desafil Litoral and more up to date information can be sought from redbull.com.
