Tosha raises her voice in front of the FIM in Dakar: “It seems they are just giving Sanders time”

Date:

Tosha Schareina He is 2nd in the Dakar 2025 motorcycle overall after the sixth stage (of 12), 11 minutes and 46 seconds behind the leader, Daniel Sanders. The one from Honda looks strong in the fight for ‘Touareg‘, but demand fairer and fairer decisions from FIM when it comes to canceling penalties and returning time to participants.

He did this after seeing how in stage 1, Tosha I lost 5 minutes due to an obvious error in the road bookwhich marked tracks that were no longer there, and injured many pilots. on that day, Tosha He asked that 5 minutes back, with the Honda, but the FIM He decided to leave things like this behind.

In stage 5, Daniel Sanders received an 8 minute penalty for allegedly exceeding the speed limit in a restricted section with a radar, but this penalty was overturned a day later as the pilot’s tablet (which they carry on the motorcycle with the roadbook and GPS) have failed. and sent false information about the pilot’s speed at that point.

Therefore, even though they are different, Tosha He complained about receiving different treatments.

“I’m happy with them giving his time back, and whoever it is when it’s time, but he seems to be the only one with the privilege, I don’t think so, because not all of us have problems with tablets.on the first day i lost five minutes for another subject. “I have nothing against Daniel, on the contrary, that everyone who has problems should be returned, be it Daniel or us or whoever it is,” argued the Valencian.

STAGE 6 ASSESSMENT

“The day went well. From the first kilometers I saw that it was very linear, very fast, but with the sun in our face it became dangerous. After that, in a few kilometers I saw Ross (Branch), who had It’s a good thing he’s walking to the helicopter, so without problems I don’t know what exactly happened to him, but just seeing him walk is already a relief, and I tried to push him there at the beginning. Daniel (Sanders). time, and the drivers in front weren’t quite getting out of us, so I was happy with that.

CHAOS WITH LOCAL CARS THROUGHOUT THE STAGE

And they became like two completely different stages (it was divided into two parts). The first part was very difficult and with navigation, and the second part was very crazy, with many local cars, all 100% sand, with some sand dunes, and I also tried to push, but I saw how dangerous it was and I tried to get there not only in the goal.”

SANDERS WILL START 9TH AND TOSHA WILL START 4TH ON STAGE 7

“You can have a plan but when you get on the bike everything changes, but I know that he didn’t struggle too much. Also, if he saw Ross fall, he would have been in third, and I, who was in second, would there, I guess he was still waiting a little bit if he could catch it and ride and not lose many minutes, but he saw that he couldn’t reach it, so I think he slowed down his approach, he had a good margin, so he could allow it. ”

TAKE TIME

“You don’t know, let’s see tomorrow, of course he will push starting so far back, it seems like the same number of kilometers tomorrow. We know they also said it was hard to sail, so he will do it. whether fourth or fifth, I think it will be a good start”

THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH TABLETS: THEY LOVE PAPER

“Go back to the paper? Yes, 100%, of course you take away the fact that in the morning you don’t have to stick and put it, but with 400 kilometers ahead, I think the least important thing is to put the paper in the end is you and it, and if the paper roadbook fails it is because you fell and went into the sand, or a failure of yours, or of the team, so to speak, but not of the organization if there is a failure of the organization Be clear and let them straighten up it, but because you don’t know what’s going to happen, neither who will get it or who won’t… I’m waiting for it to be true now, I don’t know if I made a mistake like that in the roadbook, but sometimes it sticks the page, moving forward, but it seems like there are still meters left for me to reach the waypoint, and suddenly it is happening it’s not that… I don’t know if it’s an error on my part or if it’s from the tablet, and it gives the you of mental cocoa, but no “I know when I get used to it.”

“So far it hasn’t been blocked for me. I can’t tell you if it’s 100% my fault or the tablet’s fault, but there were two or three times when the page seemed to stick to me, because there were many meters left It’s four hundred meters to reach the waypoint and it opens earlier.

THE TABLET IS NOT GOOD

“Like any mobile phone or tablet, when there’s light that you can’t see and it’s reflected. It’s the same for everyone, but your problem with the roadbook used to be like reading a book in the sun, it’s ‘ It doesn’t matter how I work Now with this tablet is a screen, so when the sun hits from above or from behind, you have less vision, So you have pros and cons if we go back to paper now. maybe yes ?
