The rider made no secret that he was exercising this right one day too late, as he had to bitterly regret it on the track on Monday. “The risk of driving in a pile is slower, you have to bend down, you can’t see through the dust. Today we crashed the car, we doubled the fork, we had to change the wheels when we decided to take a risk and bend in a difficult place” said A. Juknevičius The Kreda crew, which finished 40th on Monday, will continue the rally from 36th on Tuesday morning.

I think that in the next 400 km we will have the opportunity to drive fast, ”said B. Vanagas, happy that his well-being is really good after the night.
