(Main) On the attack! Ricky
Brabec was the standout rider of
the HRC team. Although the factory
Honda squad did not get a shot
at the podium with Joan Barreda
and Paulo Goncalves, they got
something they did not expect—a
ninth-place finish from the
American rookie. (Above) Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna's Ruben Faria
suffered a nasty crash on Stage
6, injuring his wrist and knocking
his front tooth out. (Left) Enduro
World Champion Ivan Cervantes
attempted his first Dakar Rally,
and was happy to land a 16
th
place
finish aboard his Himoinsa
Racing KTM.
