Today is a free day in Dakar. But not just for monoclass riders, because they are mechanics themselves. Of course, they had a chance to get a good night’s sleep, as they usually only get 3-4 hours of sleep.
“I slept 9 hours tonight. I woke up at eight. Falling asleep while I fell asleep, but this morning I felt like I had been killed, my head was dizzy, it was difficult to recover from yesterday’s load. I ate, I got a job and I came back, “he says. Arūnas Gelažninkas.
Since the morning, motorcyclists fight at full speed. Compared to the competition, it appears that the #ZigmasDakarteam leader could also work as a mechanic.
“I replaced the chain, sprockets, brake pads, fuel tank filters, injector, clutch, oil, motorcycle air filters and fitted new wheels and tires. I’ve been working since eight in the morning for three hours and I won’t know how long it will take. Helmets, clothes, shoes: everything must be washed. You have to look good, ”jokes the runner.
At Bivake today, everyone but the lonely class rests, walks, shares interviews, calls families, someone is still asleep. A true day of rest. Of course, except for the lonely. They chose to participate in Dakar, where 24/7 versatility is needed.
“My friend Bejamin Melotas found grease in the water system that drove the engine. I didn’t know how lucky I was. I did not observe the others, but they all do less or less ”, compares the Lithuanian.
Tomorrow, a marathon awaits the motorcyclists of the “Original by motul” class – after the speed section they will not return to bivouac together with others.
“When I have my motorcycle in order, I will probably go for lunch and dinner. There will also be a briefing at six in the afternoon and it will be necessary to prepare for tomorrow’s marathon, carry a sleeping bag, clothes, because we will not return to the bivouac after the stage speed. It will be necessary to spend the night somewhere, it is not yet clear where, “says Arūnas.
