Tosha Schareina He denied everything. In a top Dakar motorcycle team, there are rumors of the possibility that Honda’s Valencian competes with a broken collarbone, something strange in conjunction with an anti-doping control that FIM made sure it was “routine” where Tosha He was among the 6 chosen.
In it Dakarthere are many cases of riders who have competed and even won the Dakar with broken bones, driving stealthily, something that Tosha it is recognized that this opportunity may not occur and the control may actually come from the complaint of another team to verify that each runner ran within the permitted regulations.
“Yes, of course, I mean, of course if someone complains or anything, well, I see it very well, if someone has any doubts, they should ask for an anti-doping control, but well, because no this is our case, then calm down”he declared, clarifying despite this that if the control was a reaction to a complaint, it would not affect him.
During that conversation, Catalunya Ràdio asked him if he was competing with a broken collarbone. “We all run with things, but well, for now I only have to say that I am more or less whole, I have nothing broken, but well, we are all having falls. I am pain all over my body, but we are whole”. He admits there is something, but doesn’t specify what it is. Because of this, MD insisted.
“No, there’s nothing to tell. In the end, we all have crashes, that is, nothing happens to me. Of course, my whole body hurts, but like I think it happens to all pilots”he added. Then came the third question, from ‘Motorsport’. When the reporter pointed out that he was wearing a bandage on his left side, the team’s press officer asked him to stop asking him about the subject.
NOT HARD ON THE MOTORCYCLE
“No, I think the same for everyone. In the end there are many kilometers on the bike and of course it is long. I think that this year David Castera has been very motivated, but well, I think it is the same for everyone ” .
SURPRISE ANTI-DOPING CONTROL
“The worst, I’m really cold, but hey, it’s part of the game, everything is correct, in the end they did it to us, I think the first six, so, well, it’s the same for everyone. In the end it’s what It happens when you race in the FIM and it’s already the third one I’ve done this year So, no problem.
ATTACKED FROM THE BEGINNING AT STAGE 8
“We have to try to push, we started third and the goal was to catch Daniel (Sanders) and try to get the maximum possible bonuses (bonus seconds given to the driver who opens the track and to the second if he rolls close to him . ) and that’s what we did. At kilometer 100 or 110, the three of us rode together until the end.
STAGE 9
“I see it well. We will walk every day, there are many kilometers left, 4 stages but many kilometers and of course, inside the ‘Empty Quarter’ it will be long. The starting position will be good to try to get the bonuses for that reason.
DO YOU WANT TO OPEN A TRACK OR NOT IN STAGE 9?
“Well, it looks like tomorrow is going to be a pretty fast stage. I think the opening is going to be good, that they can catch you, but you never know, you can always have all the strategy in the world. That’s where you need it. ” Then everything happens or they say one thing and then another. We have to see and adapt to it.
EMPTY QUARTER, FROM STAGE 10. STRATEGY?
“Yes, of course, it will be 10 and 11, I don’t know, I think we’re all going to try to leave as far back as possible because they’re all dunes and we’ll group there no matter what, whoever opens. the track always loses a lot of time, so Well, we all want to start at the back I don’t really know how it will turn out because you have to find the balance between leaving the back but not losing too much time, so well, we’ll see how the strategy goes.
