The team has decided to rest C S Santosh to give him more recovery time. Santosh hurt his spine during a nasty crash in the recently concluded Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm.
Rodrigues, said, “I am really excited to start the new season and working with the Hero MotoSports Team Rally to get ready for the India BAJA and the Merzouga Rally. It is really cool to start working again with the team and kick off our season leading up to the Dakar 2018.”
Dr Markus Braunsperger, Chief Technology Officer, Hero MotoCorp Ltd. said, “We are looking forward to the India Baja 2017. JRod will bring in international flavour to the Rally and also generate interest among the Indian fans.
It is unfortunate for the team that Santosh will not be able to participate due to his injury. However, keeping in mind rider’s safety and the long-term interest of the team, resting Santosh for India BAJA is the right call.”India Baja will be held from April 7 to 9 in the Thar Desert.
