In the final part we got a bit lost with the Spanish Oriol. Mena (21st, aut. Past), it was fast, we drove together, and then Maurizio caught up with me again and just before me he was strong and completely off.
I called for help, but then she recovered a bit and said it wasn’t necessary. Everything was swollen, jumping, spitting. I spoke to the dispatcher for about 3-5 minutes so it should take me some time to compensate. He assured me that everything was fine and allowed me to ride, but I think at least a headache for him.
Then the other runners caught up and cleaned up a lot of dust. The rest were slower because the echoes also disappeared. The day itself was ‘super’, he drove really well, the pace is good, I’m surprised myself, “A.Gelažninkas told the iGo2Dakar team.
