Dakar stage 9: Hawk Knocks in TOP10, Gelažninkas leads in Lonely Class



[ad_1]

The speed section began on the shores of the Red Sea, at sea level. Before the start, runners will have to cover 109 km, then the 465 km speed section. After the finish line, only 5 km from the bivouac.

Participants will have a lot to distract on the seashore. But it certainly won’t be an easy journey. The trail from the seashore will lead to sandy areas where the route seems to allow you to drive fast, but the sticky sand will rarely provide a chance to hit the pedal all the way or unscrew the motorcycle handle all the way. This section of speed will be one of the hardest of this Dakar Rally.

“A breathtaking landscape awaits you, rocky mountains, labyrinths of dunes. The speed section will be 30 percent. covered with sand, 60 percent. primer and even 5 percent. stones The corridors will ascend to the mountains, which are almost 1,500 m high, where there will be no stones.

The start of the speed section will stretch close to the sea, waiting for a lot of sharp turns, jumps, dangerous ridges. Pilots must be especially careful. Later, the sand canyons will change the fast winding gravel roads. The often changing environment will require high concentrations from both the co-pilot and the pilot. It will be necessary to choose the correct speed, ”said Darius Vaičiulis, Kreda co-driver.
