In the ninth section of 465 kilometers, the start was on the Red Sea coast. In terms of Dakar standards, I was expecting a tough and difficult speed section.
No dunes. Sections with a variety of coatings and landscapes, led by winding gravel roads, dotted with sand and sedimentary rocks, sandy canyons and 1,500-kilometer-high mountains.
The often changing environment of pavement and landscape forced boaters to adjust the required pace in an instant and force that teammate to sit behind the wheel.
In the ninth speed section, the crew started from 58th place, although on Monday they finished 37th. In front of the racing duo, two dozen Dakar racing techniques awaited in this speed section.
The KREDA crew reached the finish line of the ninth speed section tentatively in 35th place.

How do runners rate the day?
“It is a terrible speed section, but we expected it, because when you write it will be 5 percent. Stones, it is understood that there will be 95 percent. Sand dotted with stones, it is not sand. It is a rock. It seems that us and the organizers we understand everything differently, ”said navigator Darius Vaičiulis.
“Darius said if there were more speed sections, he would not go to Dakar. We had the most painful moments. When you catch other cars, they are not going to miss you and the trajectory is narrow and you cannot pass them by turning left or right.
For this channel, they all travel one after another like rails. But in general, everything is fine. Of course we broke two wheels and rode with a basket left over like an egg basket. And at the end, at the time of folding, we put another. Anyway everything is fine. The Dakar continues. There are three more wonderful days left, “Antanas Juknevičius told him about the bite.
