Nani Rome I am excited after achieving the Alex Haro a well-deserved and very emotional stage victory, his first Dakar stage win since 2015but more importantly, the first after bladder cancer diagnosed in 2022.
He didn’t listen to the doctors, who said he could never fight again. He got out there, he won that fight, and not only that, he got back behind the wheel at Dakar to raise your arms to aim Shubaytah this Wednesday, as the first Ford to win the Dakar. Historical.
Think of the great joy and want to share it with your loved ones, who are with Santa Maria de Merlesin the Berguedà region. We are referring, among others, to his wife Rosa Romero, and his son Marc Roma, to whom he dedicated everything this year because of the accident he suffered in motocross that left him in a wheelchair last year. Well Nani, coming in Shubaytahin the middle of nowhere, the place chosen by the Dakar to hold the last 3 stages of this edition, he was left without being able to call his loved ones on the phone in the first moments of the greatest chaos.
“It’s a shame, because I don’t understand how in the 21st century we are in a place with no phone signal. With an event ending here, one of the most famous in the world, we don’t have coverage. I can’t even talk at home, nothing, but it is a real success for Marc (Roma, his son), for Rosa (Romero, his wife), for the girls, Abril and Julia (his wife). daughters), who are already at home working well and this success is also part of it for their argument.
He also wanted to dedicate this victory to his Ford teammate Carlos Sainz, who had to leave after stage 2 due to the FIA’s obligation to retire due to displacing a bar in his car’s safety arch by just 3 mm .
“What happens to Carlos is the worst thing that can happen to you, because look, in the end I broke the engine, they gave me a new engine and I’m here trying a lot of things, competing. Carlos is at home, and this, oh boy, this is more important, like he said, we all have gray hair and we know it’s part of the game, but there are times when it’s hard to accept, but it is what it is this,” argued about ‘Matador’, a Nani admitted to shedding “a few tears” after that emotional victory.
