Yamahalube Yamaha Official Rally racer Rodney Faggotter is currently sitting 18th overall in the Dakar Rally. Rodney’s role in the team has been to provide assistance to his team mates whenever necessary, however he is the last remaining factory Yamaha pilot in the race. Following the cancellation of stage 12, Rodney is now aiming for a top-15 finish
Rodney Faggotter: “Following the cancellation of the stage, we arrived at the San Juan bivouac after a pretty long ride section. Yesterday the first day of the marathon stage went pretty well for me. I cruised along to a top 20 result. I took care of the bike and myself and that paid off. I made no mistakes and had no crashes and I’m pretty happy about that. It was disappointing to see all of my teammates forced to sit out of the race in the last few days, but we keep doing our best to cross the finish line. I hope Adrien and Xavier will recover well and soon. It’s just me left now and my goal is to bring my bike home to wrap up this tough event on a high note for the team and myself.”
