New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) - Displaying immense grit and determination, India's Harith Noah, riding for the Sherco TVS Rally Factory Team, secured an impressive fifth-place finish in the 450cc category of the FIM Bajas World Cup at the 41st edition of Baja Aragón 2025 in Spain.
Spanning three challenging stages, Harith navigated the grueling Spanish desert terrain with a cumulative time of 7:16:32.0s. This achievement placed him among the top finishers, facing off against a competitive field of international rally-raid talent.
The Baja Aragón, held from July 25 to 27 in Teruel, Spain, remains a legendary event on the rally-raid calendar. Renowned for its tough mix of high-speed gravel, rocky ascents, and the extreme heat of a Spanish summer, it consistently pushes riders to their limits.
In the fiercely contested top five, Harith's fellow Sherco TVS rider, the experienced Lorenzo Santolino Sánchez from Spain, took top honors with a time of 6:38:59.0s. He was followed by France's Neels Théric and Spain's Javi Vega Puerta. Konrad Dabrowski of Poland, competing for the Duust Rally Team, finished just ahead of Harith in fourth place.
After the race, Harith Noah reflected, "It's an incredible feeling to finish strongly at Baja Aragón. This rally is a significant test with its speed, unpredictability, and physical demands. The dust was a constant challenge, yet I maintained my composure and focus for a clean ride. Given the events earlier this year, my goal was a clean race, full focus, and to savor the experience."
He concluded, "I'm extremely satisfied with my bike performance, and this result boosts my confidence as I look forward to the upcoming phases of the season."
