The dice have been cast and the start of this 2021 #dakar has finally launched. After all the checks and the check in, the riders set off this morning for a 10km prologue that included a lot of action!
Lorenzo Santolino started in excellent conditions, following his 3rd place in the Andalucia Rally, he is in the game to attack this #dakar in the best possible way. He placed 16th at the end of this prologue, this puts him in a good position to attack the first special tomorrow.
Rui Goncalves finished 20th in this prologue, a great performance for our "rookie". The preparation for this first #dakar is paying off, he has been training extremely hard since the Andalusia Rally especially on the management of information and navigation, which is challenging and complex to assimilate in Rally #racing.
Harith Noah finished 43rd. He has spent the last 6 months training in France, he is in excellent condition to face his 2nd #dakar.
David CASTEU, Team Manager
I am very relieved by this departure, after long days of passing the covid-19 tests, checks and verifications, the check in, etc. we are finally #racing.
The entire team passed these various tests without a hitch and I thank them for being careful and for allowing us to approach these first days with all the peace, strength and concentration that this type of race requires.
