Unscheduled Saturday off instead of the eight stage. In the air were reports of protests
Yesterday had trucks in the Dakar Rally unplanned day off. This happened due to the late arrival of accompanying cars after the seventh stage and also due to heavy rain. So yesterday they all moved through the connection section to the resting place of the day off, Tuvcman.
Storm broke out also around the contradictory statements of the Czech teams in the Dakar Rally. We hope that this “Czech” affair does not overshadow the great performance of all racers, which in this moment they fought and achieve.
In today’s video we bring the clarification of the situation. We hope that it contributes to calm the situation. You can find here the express of the race Commissioner, Aleš expression to the Sentinel rule and the situation on the track that led to the De Rooy’s protest.
Our team won’t comment on this case, because we know how it can damage the good name of the Czech racers, annoy the fans and especially divert the attention from sport results.
Good luck on the track, on your travel and deserved Sunday rest for all!
