Schareina and a second like glory: “Three years ago we were fighting to run the Dakar”

Tosha Schareina He fought it to the end. The Valencian pilot ends second position in this Dakar rally behind Daniel Sanders and was able to end the drought of podiums in the motorcycle category since last Joan Barreda in 2017.

Spanish finished as the best sling bag but the truth is that Sanders was the fastest in the whole rally that he was on KTM. The Australian won four stages and the prologue and did not relinquish the lead for two weeks. Schareina tightened the screws until the last day and no one gave her more fight than him. The man from Valencia wanted to win but he enjoyed his best Dakar.

“A lot of things happened to us throughout the race. I think this second place tastes like victory but it is no excuse, next year we will go for more. Of course, we expect more battles with them. We all left home wanting to win. We all know that we have things these two weeks, others,” he declared to Spanish newspapers who traveled to Arabia, along with MD.

“In the end I’m the one on the bike, but the real hero is the one who builds the bike, the one behind the cameras and also at home and giving support. I never doubted that I could fight, I’ve always been clear The T for time is missing. We were at home watching the Dakar from the sofa and it was clear to me what I had to do. I don’t know when it will come but we are fighting for it all our lives.

“Three years ago, we were struggling trying to race here, they (the team) made a bet on me and this was the only way to pay them back for the great work they did for me. It doesn’t stop here. Next year we will go for more. I haven’t assimilated yet. So many things happened. It’s been so long. “At a time when everything is over I will realize what we have done.”

This is a great step forward for Tosha and it is clear that from now on he and Edgar Canet, in addition to the new faces coming, will fight for the next few years in the most difficult rally in the world.
