Dakar-2019, stage 7: the clouds above KamAZ

Gerard de Roy on the hood Iveco makes every effort to reduce the delay on the leader. He won again the stage, this time losing a lot more. However, the offset remains high. Roy's Edward Nikolayev loses 1 hour 15 minutes to Sotnikov over 40 minutes

Despite the big delay, Gerard de Roy does not lose hope and attacks to the maximum

But the KamAZ-Master crew continues to make fever. Affects this and the treasure with counting results. Before the start of the 7th stage, the organizers recalculated the results of the previous round and it turned out that its winner was not King, but Dmitry Sotnikov.

Dmitry Sotnikov, the organizers belatedly recognized the winner of the previous stage

Moreover, he was the one who led "Dakar" in front of Nikolayev for 18 minutes. Although the figures of the "live timing" do not confirm it. It is difficult to understand where the truth is, but we hope to find it. This led Sotnikov, winner of the 6th stage, from the 7th. It was not included in the plans of the team "KamAZ-Master", which was counting on the next start. So Sotnikov started and immediately stopped waiting Nikolayev, he lost about 11 minutes on it.

Andrii Nikolayev will remain without quick technique at the next stage, which starts with nearly three hours late.

Dmitry assured Edward, chasing him. But on one of the KamAZ Sotnikov dunes, the recall posed problems. It turned out that the car had been damaged by the line of lubrication. But the necessary spare parts and lubricants were on board Nikolayev, who had already managed to get off the dune. Sotnikov was to join the bivouac and the team had already told Nikolayev that it was necessary to leave spare parts and lubricants on the road. Dmitry ended up "posing" and repaired a truck. The general losses of Sotnikov reached 1 hour and 25 minutes and he was sixth. And that means that KamAZ-Master will not be able to apply the preferred driving tactic at the time. After all, the start will be at five o'clock, the first will start at intervals of 3 minutes, the second will appear at the beginning in more than two hours. Thus, the leader of the marathon, Eduard Nikolayev, can only count on himself. He will probably be in charge of spare parts and will be reinsured on special divisions, which does not leave a good time.
