Great Francisco Chaleco's stage victory: the chilean has fun driving in a spectacular way, surpass eleven pilots and win the stage with more then seven advantage minutes on Manca.

Ceci is today sixth and always on third position in the Overall. With five minutes allowed from the jury, he is the winner of the third stage: Aprilia RVX Africa dominated by now three stage out of five!

SITRA – The great day of Chaleco's rescue came today during the fifth Pharaons Rally stage, 386 kilometres of special stage from Baharija till Sitra. Started fourteenth this morning, Francisco Lopez drived as he knows, had fun with Ivan Boano beginning a friendly fight in the technical stretches, but especially he has been the faster of today detaching the second, Luca Manca, of even seven minutes. An incredibile performance, if we think on the comparison with the KTM 690 on generally very fast grounds.

Excellent day also for Paolo Ceci, reached at the end by Lopez after he had navigated alone for the all stage. He concluded absolute sixth and third of the 450, behind Lopez and Rodriguez and in the Overall is always absolute third and first in the lowpowered.

Yesterday night the International Jury allowed to Paolo seven minutes and a half for the assistance gave to Zanotti and five minutes for the assistance gave to Lopez during the stage of the day before. In this way Ceci is effectively winner of this Pharaons third fraction, the Dahkla-Abu Mingar, bringing at three the Aprilia's victories out of the five competed by now.

Finally an update on Alex Zanotti conditions: he is fine and going back to Italy with a scheduled fly.

Tomorrow sixth and penultimate stage of the Pharaons, the Sitra-Baharija, with the Rally's longest special stage of 431 kilometres.
