However, as it turned out after several stages of speed, it was not destined to slip away so easily, because to reach the finish line of the competition, the Agrorodeo team had to not only fight, but also maneuver on two wheels.
“We rode without adventures the entire season, so I was hoping that the Zarasai speed sections were no exception. Still, it got a bit different. We had to fight ourselves through all the races because we didn’t have as many adventures throughout the whole season. After getting into the deep tracks in one of the speed sections, the car started to turn, so we had to maneuver on two wheels, we also had a failed jump from the springboard, and as a result we did not avoid technical problems ” shared V.Žala after the race.

It is true that the Agrorodeo driver admitted that the adventures lasted until the end of the race, because even in the last stretch of speed the conditions did not spoil the teams and only increased the tension.

In the last stretch of speed, things turned out as they should not. It was raining just before the last outing, while the anchor points for the additional headlights became unbalanced after previous hits from the springboards. However, it is an indescribably pleasant feeling to reach the finish line after a tense competition, ”said V.Žala.
