Team Husqvarna Monster Energy speedbrain riders Joan Barreda and Paulo Goncalves have regained the lead of the Oil Lybia Morocco Rally. Following their opening success, the Spaniard and the Portuguese scored another one-two stage victory on Wednesday. Day three of six, called "La Passe d'April", saw the rally´s longest special test over 338 kilometers. After running into navigation problems on Tuesday, the Husqvarna-mounted pair left the competition in the dust.

Joan Barreda: Today has been difficult and long. I didn´t make any mistakes, found a good rhythm and learned some more about the navigation. It´s good fun being in the new team and riding next to Paulo aboard the speedbrain Husqvarna TE 449 RR.
