Jeremy Knuiman, sixth in the Enduropale du Touquet last month, is contesting his first W2RC round. The 23-year-old Dutchman hit the ground running and claimed his first win as the 123rd rider to prevail in a championship prologue or stage. It is also the first Dutch triumph on two wheels! Until now, the Oranje had picked up 7 victories in Challenger and 18 in Trucks. Rally raid diehards will recognise the name "Knuiman" from his father, Henk, who cracked the Dakar top 10 multiple times and helped to catapult Marc Coma to the top spot in 2011.
