The fourth stage of this year's Dakar Rally turned out to be extremely dramatic for the Instaforex Loprais Team. After a collision with one of the buggies, in which the crew was innocent, the Praga V4S DKR #508 truck had to tackle most of the longest stage of the event without shock absorbers on the right rear wheel. Yet, Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr. and Petr Pokora managed to defend their fifth place in the trucks overall standings.

After the first quarter of the 2022 Dakar Rally, Ales Loprais and his crew sit in fifth place in the truck overall standings.

After the prologue stage for the 2022 Dakar Rally, the Praga V4S DKR truck of the InstaForex Loprais Team is classified in eleventh place. Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr. and Petr Pokora faced issues with electronic roadbooks that appeared just before the start of the 19-kilometre-long stage.

While most of the competitors described the ninth stage of Dakar Rally 2021 as the toughest one yet, the Instaforex Loprais Praga Team had a relatively calm day. But of course, it was still a Dakar.

Throughout both marathon stages, Ales Loprais, Khalid Alkendi and Petr Pokora did not have a chance to follow the results. They had enough work handling difficult routes and making sure that the Praga V4S DKR keeps going.
