The Toylyev Brothers Strengthen Their Leadership in the T2 Class at the 2025 Silk Way Rally
On July 21, the participants of the 2025 International Silk Way Rally completed the tenth stage, leaving Mongolia and returning to Russia. This stage, more than 515 km long, of which 257 km was a special stage, was recognized by many participants as one of the most picturesque on the entire route.
The racers drove along the foothills and rocky ridges, overcame the Valley of Lakes and followed the dam of Lake Achit-Nuur. The final kilometers in Mongolia ran along a wide plateau with high-speed parallel roads, which allowed the athletes to fully experience the grandeur of the landscapes and the power of their equipment.
In the T2 class, the clear favorites based on the results of today were the brothers Merdan and Shokhrat Toylyev. Their crew showed the best time on the tenth stage, beating Meilis Abdullaev by 25 minutes.
Thanks to a confident victory at this stage, the Toylyev brothers significantly strengthened their leadership in the overall standings of the T2 class. Now they are "driving" (ahead of) Meilis Abdullaev by almost seven hours.
Recall that the day before, at the ninth stage of the rally, there was a change of leader in the "Turkmen" T2 class. Maksatmyrat Danatarov, who had been dominating for a long time, received a large penalty of 21 hours due to the inability to overcome a difficult section. As a result, he gave up the first line to Merdan Toylyev, and Meilis Abdullaev moved up to the second position. Danatarov's gap to the leader is now 14 hours.
