Branch misses out on Andalucia Rally title

The biker was in Seville, Spain competing in the rally that finished today. There was a change of schedule for what was to be a four-day race. Competitors were forced to take a day off on Friday as the stage two of the rally was cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions in Seville.

Branch had started the race on a good note; he finished eighth in the prologue stage. In stage one held on Thursday, he lost a bit of time after the fueling point. This cost Branch to lose touch with the leading pack but he recovered well to once again secure an eighth place finish on the day. On the rescheduled stage two held on Saturday, Branch showed a ‘die-hard’ attitude after falling from the motorcycle. He was subject to his own heartbreak when he crashed 100 metres before the finish point and Andalucia Rally stage win.
