He All1Team They will face the second week of Dakar 2024 without confidence, knowing that there are still 6 special stages left to reach the final finish line of the toughest race in the world, thus fulfilling one of the greatest goals of their lives. ANDl All1 Team has already made history by qualifying for the Dakar on motorcycles, becoming the largest amateur team to compete in Dakar. All, to fulfill one of the points on the list 101 things what to do with the life he wrote Alex Llibre before passing away.
His brother Carlos and Alex’s friends came together to create a new philosophy of life in which to fulfill dreams in a similar way. One of them is the Dakar.
6 friends realized their dream to start. One of them, Fernando Conde, had to leave after a fall on stage 1 and that was a big blow for the whole team, which had been preparing as a family for two years. The other 5 pilots, Carlos Llibre, Josep Martí, Javier Amat and Josep Pedró and Xavi Pes continued and reached the halfway point of the race.in love with the beauty of the landscapes, but at the same time, surprised by the enormous difficulty of a route that everyone agreed is becoming more complicated than other previous editions held in Saudi Arabia.
Xavi Pes, still injured
“For us the first week was difficult. We started as a team of six and on the first day we already had the very bad news of Fer’s (Fernando Conde) broken hand. Emotionally, after two years, losing a member of the team. is very difficult. Otherwise, physically the other 5 drivers are very good. Pepe and Josep are on another level and in great physical shape. Javi and I feel good and Xavi (Pes) who has been falling since the first days, with a cracked rib and a limp, had to throw himself on the head to do the marathon stage. It’s a monster. All five of us reached the rest stage,” Carlos Llibre revealed to MD.
Very positive balance
“Looking at the verdict against the classification, of the 144 participants, only 88 completed the entire route of the first week and 10 others were in the race that did not finish all the kilometers, with many penalties. So the verdict continue is very good, because this Dakar is devastating, more than usual, say our friends in the organization. And now we have tasks, we are focused and what we need to do is focus on the second week,” he argued, focused on preparing all his team to face stage 7, a very long day with complex navigation.
“We are working to leave everything in order and it’s like we started another race after the rest day. After that, the next day the body is usually broken because you had a day without tension so it’s easier to lose. in this phase 7. That’s why you need to start slowly, again at low speed, gaining confidence on the bike. The stage is very difficult. We have a 400 km link and a 480 km special, the longest stage of the entire rally. And from here, 5 more days. It seems like we’re close, but we’re only halfway through the rally. “You have to stay focused.”Llibre added, highlighting the brutality of the experience.
“It’s very, very difficult”
“It is being very hard, very hard. We are people with desire, with talent, we prepared a lot and as much as possible from home for two years for this project, and it hit us hard. The mental and physical The exposure is higher than we expected,” Carlos Llibre highlighted in this newspaper from Riyadh.
“There are conflicting feelings, because it’s equally beautiful and wonderful in terms of scenery, because it’s brutal. I really like it though We know the big risks we are taking and what we have to do is keep a good head, go out to have fun, not fall and concentrate like hell to keep sailing. And you have to enjoy it a lot. In the camp they are all smiles, a group of friends, and with the Pedrega Team they become brutal and help us with everything. And stage 6 has been a brutal experience, with Farreti and Plaza in camp B, with Xavi Foj and many other Spaniards. Sleeping in the Empty Quarter, in the void, with those stars, was unique,” he explained, reiterating the importance of not trusting oneself in the face of the endless dangers of the various lands they still had to face. travel.try to reach the ultimate goal.
“We are far from finishing this rally, until we have arrived, we are proud of what we are building. “We have to get the job done and do it in the best possible way.”he concluded.
