The description of stage 1 this Sunday is clear. “easy navigation”. The organization ensures that it will be a good warm-up on all types of terrain, with gravel-like rock sections and sandy tracks, with some dunes. But Carlos Sainzlike his co-pilot Lucas Cruzthey don’t trust At the end of the prologue stage, the Spanish crew enjoyed the first 12.5 km of the qualifying timed special. They would have liked to be a little further ahead, but they accepted the 6th position in the prologue, waiting for the rest of the Top-10 to choose their starting position. Bearing in mind that the 5 riders who stayed in front of him prefer to start as far away as possible from the top 10, the logical thing to do is that Carlos pariera from 5th place.
“I think we will start fifth tomorrow if there are no surprises, going behind is better, but fifth is not bad either”, pointed out the driver from Madrid, who still has fresh memories of the mess that occurred on stage 1 of the last Dakar, where a bad point in the roadbook caused him to lose all his chances of winning a place if where the theory says that no one has to suffer for me. For this reason, just think about being one hundred percent focused when you start stage 1 this Sunday, knowing that on any track or between the canyons, any mistake can cost you time.

“It was a Prologue-type stage, so it was difficult to read, memorize properly, we had no problem.

The four-ring firm’s good initial performance doesn’t stop it from continuing to keep its feet on the ground. He assured that it is too early to draw conclusions: “Until a few days pass, we won’t know.”
ATYPICAL END OF THE YEAR
“Last year was in the hotel, waiting for the first days, but now in the bivouac, we are calm, to sleep immediately, certainly no party. We will not wait. [para tomar las tradicionales uvas en España] At twelve o’clock we will rest, and I don’t know if there will be anything unusual in the team, I didn’t even ask, but it doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary”
BEST GROUND FOR YOUR AUDI
In theory, the dunes are where we defend ourselves best, and I think, this year it should be. washing stages? The important thing is to get through each day.
