Stage 9 cancelled
Martin Kolomy managed 5th in the 8th stage of the Dakar without his clutch! Teammate Martin Soltys managed 12th spot.
The organisers of the Dakar have no choice but to cancel stage 9, which was supposed to take place between Tupiza and Salta on Monday. Weather conditions in the area in the last few days are preventing assistance crews from refurbishing race vehicles for tomorrow’s stage after the demanding marathon stage. The field of the Dakar will therefore head to the Salta bivouac by road. The rally will resume with stage 10 from Salta to Belén.

Kolomy Ranking Dakar 2018
It is a real pity that Kolomy ran into trouble in stage 4, as he performed well in all other stages.
