The competition resumed this Saturday in its fourth stage through Huelva, after the third of its scheduled route through the province of Malaga was suspended on Friday due to bad weather.
The man from Salamanca was punished a navigation errorthat distanced him from the fight for victory on the day, finishing sixth in 4.40 behind the winner of the motorcycles, Argentine Kevin Benavides (KTM).
Santolino got off to a strong start, setting the second-fastest time through the first two waypoints, just six seconds behind then-leader African Ross Branch (Hero).
Until kilometer 212 he stayed in the fight, but at that point he crashed after making a mistake in a stage he appreciated as “quite long”, with “fast and other extreme navigation” zones, in addition to “many changing terrain, fast and slow tracks, with many potholes and rocky or sandy areas”, he analyzed the statements issued by his team.
Santolino acknowledged that this Sunday, at the final stage in Cádiz, “It’s going to be complicated” to get on the podium, “but you never know”he highlighted.
