Camelia Liparoti: « It was a nice stage with a few plateaus but sandy routes. We lost time on these sections, but at least we managed to avoid getting stuck in the dunes. The X-raid Yamaha is running well. I am learning more about it and feeling more comfortable all the time. »
Mattias Ekström: « Today we had lots of fun again. The damper set-up was better and we have made some progress. With one little navigation mistake, we lost approximately 15 minutes. »
