Hellas Rally Raid 2026 – Day 2

Day 2 of the Hellas Rally Raid 2026 delivered one of the most demanding stages of the rally, covering a total distance of 342 km, including 300 km of Special Stage. Competitors were welcomed by sunny weather throughout the day, accompanied only by occasional patches of cloud.

The stage featured a highly varied terrain, challenging riders with everything from dusty tracks and river crossings to hidden muddy sections. These constantly changing conditions turned the day into a true test of both riding skill and endurance.

With pressure mounting throughout the stage, success depended equally on precise navigation and high-speed performance. The first competitor, Jacopo Cerutti, started at 08:00 in the morning and once again demonstrated exceptional pace, finishing ahead of the field. He was followed by his teammate Thomas Marini, while Julien Jagu of France secured third place in the overall classification.
