“We flew well today, it seems to me. We all pressed well. In the first half I overtook Maurizio Gerini and then I already pushed forward. I chased other fast athletes from the general classification, but the Italian did not lag behind me in any way, he kept driving, ”said the runner after the finish.
The competitors in the duel did not go without losses: the main competitor, Maurizio Gerini, fell sharply. Arūnas Gelažninkas probably managed to film how the Italian behaved right in front of his nose.
“In the last part we drove with the Spaniard Oriole Mena and we got a little lost. This Italian caught up with me again. Gerini was strong against me just before. I stopped checking and was completely “offline”. I called for help, but he recovered and said, “I don’t need, I don’t need.” All swollen jumped there, spitting. I contacted the dispatchers and dropped it. He said ride, and I left.
It seems to me that you will at least be surprised. During the time I was detained, other runners caught up with me and collected a lot of dust. As a result, the rest was much slower and the lips disappeared. Anyway, the day is great. Very good ride, good pace. I wonder for myself. It will probably be the fastest stage in the history of my Dakar, “said Arūnas.
Although preliminary data shows that in this speed section the Lithuanian was third in the “solitaire” class, the organizers should make up the time to help the competitor.
“When I stopped at Gerini, I spoke for about 3-5 minutes with the dispatcher, so it should make up for a while. When I get back, I’ll go ask you to check, ”said the runner.
The Zigmas Dakar team had some contact with the fallen Italian after the finish. He said he doesn’t remember how he fell. He feels bad. If it improves, the race will continue.
