Pol Tarres backs down from no problem. After showcasing the Yamaha Ténéré 700’s off-road, enduro, and trials capabilities within the Seeker video sequence, the Spanish rider solely continued to push the middleweight ADV’s limits. In September, 2021, Tarres competed within the Red Bull Romaniacs aboard the T7 and adopted that up with a 77th-place end general on the 2022 Erzbergrodeo.
As a tough enduro rider, Tarres felt proper at dwelling in each the Romaniacs and Erzbergrodeo competitions. The 2022 Africa Eco Race (AER) will take the Yamaha rider out of his ingredient, although, forcing him to depend on his rally expertise.
As an ode to the unique Paris-Dakar Rally, the Africa Eco Race spans 16 days and 12 phases on a 5983-kilometer (3718-mile) route from Monaco to Senegal. The first stage kicked off on October 18, 2022. Riders will cowl 5 phases earlier than having fun with a relaxation day on October 23, 2022. From there, the opponents will push by way of seven extra legs, ending the race on October 30, 2022, alongside the shores of Senegal’s Lac Rose (Lake Retba).
While Tarres pilots his trusty Ténéré 700, this time in World Raid type, he should traverse uncharted territory. Understandably, the Seeker star feels trepidatious about taking over such a mighty job, however fortunately, he has Dakar Rally legend Jordi Arcarons in his nook.
Arcarons competed within the World’s Toughest Race for 17 years (1988-2003, 2017). Also hailing from Spain, the rally rider completed six rallies on the rostrum and captured 27 stage wins. With Arcarons’ information and expertise at his disposal, Tarres was capable of enhance upon his weak factors earlier than the 2022 AER received underway.
Of course, apply is totally different from the true factor, and Tarres should show his rallying chops alongside Rebel X Sports Ténéré World Raid teammate and AER-winner Alessandro Botturi. Given the lay of the land, Tarres has his work lower out for him, however we’ve by no means recognized the T7 acrobat to again down from a problem.
