Joan Barreda makes history for Husqvarna.
It´s an inaugural victory for Husqvarna at a desert rally. Joan Barreda is the winner of the Pharaons Rally 2012 in Egypt. The Speedbrain pilot emphasised his exceptional talent by taking three of six stages during the race held this week from Monday to Saturday. Barreda finished the closing stage in fourth position, as his team mate Paulo Goncalves owned the final 425km from Tibniya to Gizeh. "Speedy" Goncalves tried whatever he could to make up for his navigation error from yesterday´s stage, but the Portuguese couldn´t re-gain enough ground on his rivals Jakub Przygonski and Jordi Viladoms, therefore missing the overall podium of the FIM Cross Country Rally World Championship.
Final standings Pharaons Rally (unofficial):
1. Joan Barreda (Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain),
2. Jakub Przygonsky (KTM),
3. Jordi Viladoms (Bordone Ferrari),
4. Paulo Goncalves (Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain),
