RALLY MOROCCO T Photos: Kin Marcin/Red Bull Content Pool he OiLibya Rally Morocco has provided some great racing and some stunning visuals during the first two weeks of October. Set three months ahead of the Dakar Rally, the Moroccan Rally serves as a good shakedown for both riders and teams in the lead up to the main Rally Raid event of the season. Red Bull KTM Rally Factory Racing’s Matthias Walkner secured victory, wrapping up the week- long adventure in the dunes of North Africa with victory in the event’s final stage. Topping the standings on the sixth and final day of competition in Morocco, Walkner has won the last round of the 2017 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship. Collecting valuable points, the Austrian rider moved up to third in the series’ final standings.
