Sherco TVS Factory Team: Ace Dakar rider, Harith Noah of Sherco TVS Factory Team, dished out a high-class performance to become the first rider representing India to win a stage overall on Monday in the gruelling 2500-km TransAnatolia Rally that is being run across Turkey from Mersin to Van.

The Kerala rider, who won the B1 Class at the TransAnatolia Rally last September, before going on to win the Dakar 2024 in Rally 2, began the 2024 edition of this rally on a sombre note but bounced back to win Stage 2 after a challenging 177.36 km on Monday.

He topped the field of 65 riders taking part in the 14th edition being held from August 31 to September 7.
