“Neither good nor bad. It was just so cold and somehow I couldn’t get up to speed. Only ten days left, “wrote the 38-year-old racer, who is taking part in the famous rally for the fifth time in his career, on his Facebook page about the second stage.
Martin Michek, who finished 11th on Monday, is three places behind him in the standings. He thus corrected the impression after the introductory stage, when he dropped to the top ten due to navigation problems. “I am at the top again. We have shown that we can drive fast. Today the special was really hard, very sandy. At the beginning, we drove on soft sand, it was broken like a pig, “said Michek.
Car driver Martin Prokop dropped from third to sixth place after the second stage of the Dakar Rally. The driver of the Ford Raptor set the twentieth time on Monday, when he was 25:42 minutes behind the fastest Sébastien Loeb from France. “It simply came to our notice then. But I hoped that these stages would not be. they are definitely not nice. It’s just a quick crossing in the sand, in the tracks, nothing lively, no room for us. No navigation and the result corresponds to that, “Prokop complained about the conditions on social networks.
After the title, Hron celebrated “retired” at the end of the year. It also continues because of vanity
The truck category continues to be dominated by the Kamaz factory team, whose members took the first four places. The fastest was Andrej Karginov, behind whom the fifth Loprais was 6:51 minutes behind. Martin Macík was seventh on Monday with an interval of more than fifteen minutes. Right behind him, the Argentinian Ignacio Casale finished in the colors of the Czech Tatra Buggyra Racing team, which is currently seventh, right in front of Macík. “Dakar started nicely. They go for blood, everyone can. From the beginning it was fast, then it was more difficult on the binary dunes. But except for a few mistakes, we enjoyed it, “said one of the main Czech aces, Macík.
Even in his stable it is possible to find a South Moravian trail. Radek Osička from Zaječí in the Břeclav region is also one of Macík’s mechanics.
