Benediktas Vanagas, Inbank Toyota Gazoo Racing Baltics team leader, was the first priority driver to request a repositioning and move up to the starting list.
On Monday morning, after not only returning from the speed section on Sunday, but also beating the broken Vaidotas Damage, B. Vanagas and Filipe Palmeiro started from position 23 instead of 32. The tactics helped when the runner reached the finish line in 15th place.
Before the start of the second day of the rally, Antanas Juknevičius and Darius Vaičiulis, the Kreda crew, decided to exercise the same right. The rider made no secret that he was exercising this right one day too late, as he had to bitterly regret it on the track on Monday.
“The risk of driving in a pile is slower, you have to bend over, you can’t see through the dust. Today we crashed the car, we doubled the fork, we had to change the wheels when we decided to take a risk and bend in a difficult place”, said A. Juknevičius.
The truth from which position Kreda’s crew, who finished 40th, will start Tuesday morning, is still unclear.
“When I submitted a deposit request to the competition commissioners, several athletes who had come were already lining up behind me,” said A. Juknevičius.
As the athlete explained, crews on the priority list can exercise the right to reposition only three times during all races.
