Another Lithuanian, an ATV, also crossed the starting line Laisvydas Kancius. It occupies the ninth place in the general classification.
On Sunday, the rider faced technical problems: he lost a lap just before the finish line, but according to him, everything was settled.
“And the technique, except for one problem, is just as good. When I was driving to the start and there were 10 km to go, the wheel came off; it happens that way.
I removed a nut from each of the other wheels and put the rear wheel on. You now have four wheels and everything is secured with three nuts. From time to time he checked.
On Sunday, we handed over the wheels and tires to the judges to mark. Maybe we don’t squeeze after that. I can’t answer why that happened. But all is well, which ends well, “L. Kancius said Sunday.

The second day of the marathon was started by a motorcyclist on the eighth speed stage of the Dakar Arūnas Gelažninkas.
Lithuania is ranked 31st in the overall motorcycle rider ranking. And he is second in the “singles” category and is 35 seconds behind the Italian MAurizio Gerini.
Before the start, A.Gelažninkas also had to change the air filter. On Sunday, the pilot could not do it because the detail remained in his bag behind the motorcycle parking lot.
“Because there are campers, the motorcycles were told to leave in a separate parking lot. To prevent motorcyclists from bringing spare parts. My motorcycle’s air filter is in a marathon bag, so I won’t be able to change the filter now. I will have the opportunity to do this on Monday just before the start. Anyway, everything is fine for the motorcycle, there is no need to do anything else, ”said A. Gelažninkas on Sunday after the finish.
