ADDC is the hardest race in 100% sand conditions and is always a proving ground for man and machine. Continuing our good track record from the Dakar, we've finished the race without any technical issues, and all three riders are back with us safe - and I couldn't be happier, " said Hero MotoSports Team Rally's Manager Wolfgang Fischer."It was a really good week for us - good performance from the bike and myself. Hero MotoSports is doing a fantastic job, and the results speak for themselves. We have a really strong team now with Ross Branch having joined us, and Caimi back in action. I have no doubts that we'll be achieving a lot more in the races to come. It's been a great race, and let's look forward to the next, " said Hero MotoSports Team Rally's rider Joaquim Rodrigues."I'm super happy to be standing here at the end of this race. It's a big accomplishment for me. A good return to the race track after my accident last November. Since then, I've been working very hard to get back to racing, and I'm happy to have finished the race with some good results. This is highly encouraging, and I look forward to coming back to the next race much stronger, " said Hero MotoSports Team Rally's rider Franco Caimi."The result is not what we wanted, but overall, I think it has been a good race for me. It was good for my confidence to run up to the front, and over these last few days, I actually learned a lot. I don't have to put a 100% in every day - that's the main learning I'm walking out of herewith. I know I've got the speed, but I will go back and keep working on my consistency. We've got the whole year ahead, and I'm really excited. The Hero Rally 450 is an amazing work of art, and I've been loving every moment with it. The team is also incredible, my teammates are really helpful, and I'm really thankful for the opportunity to be here. We can only go forward from here, and I know we'll achieve great things, " said Hero MotoSports Team Rally's rider Ross Branch.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
