Baja Espana. BMW X-Raid lock out the podium!
Sunday, 26 July 2009 23:00

Having repeated his 2005 success, Nani Roma together with co-driver Michel Perin took the victory in a difficult and gruelling fight on today's stages. His teammate Stephane Peterhansel (assisted by Jean-Paul Cottret) gave in his advantage after losing almost 10 minutes with brakes problems on SS3. And though "Peter" managed to take about 5 minutes away from Nani on the next 130 kilometres long special stage, it was evident it wouldn't be enough to overtake the spaniard.
It was a good day for a third BMW as well. Felipe Campos took bronze after keeping his strong pace thoughout the morning stage, so that even 6th result on the final SS didn't prevent him from grabbing the final podium spot. We congratulate the whole german squad BMW X-Raid on their triumph.
In the T2 category it were Francesc Termens and Alberti Pascual who won the race behind the wheel of their Mitsubishi Montero. Among the Russian crews only did Artem Varentsov and Roman Elagin make it to the finish line of the Aragon Baja. The crew finished 4th in T2, and having received 5 points in to the tally, they are now heading the Cup standings.
