This is how Tatra Jamal from Artur Ardavichus arrived to the bivuac yesterday after the truck turned over on its side 2 kilometres before the finish line. Luckily, no one was hurt during that incident. But it was obvious that mechanics will have a lot of work during the night. At the moment it is unclear whether the crew n. 542 will be able to continue on the Dakar.
During the 7th stage, Artur Ardavichus moved up to 7th position. But then he crashed and lost more than 10 minutes between the last waypoint and finish line and eventually finished 17th, 25 minutes and 21 seconds behind the fastest Eduard Nikolaev with Kamaz.
