Lorenzo Santolino (Sherco) from Salamanca helped the Chilean Nacho Cornejo (Honda) in the ninth special of the Dakar, where he pulled him out from under the bike after an accident and guided him to the finish line.
“Around kilometer 230 there was a big change in level, Cornejo rolled slowly, but he stayed under the bike and I had to help him out. Luckily nothing happened, but he messed up the navigation and I continued to the end” , recounted from Guijuelo after the finish line of the special.
Santolino was “happy” because he had saved the “problems” that arose on stage and it was “good speed”.
“It was a very fast one. I went to a calm speed in the dunes, after the flight of the last stage, and I also knew that (Kevin) Benavides would catch me. He caught me, I got a good rhythm with him and together us until kilometer 160,” said Loren.
“At 140, at a ‘waypoint’ without references we went parallel, when we got to the point I saw (Matthias) Walkner on the right, but he wasn’t there, I went to the other end and I lost 3 minutes. maximum”, he said of his big setback on Tuesday.
