Martin Kolomy
In the 1st stage of this year’s Dakar, Martin Kolomy suffered from a puncture, after his brake got too hot, causing a burned tyre. Further, he had a radiator problem caused by the continuous jumping. In the end, he finished 32nd, 36 secodns behind stage winner Mardeev.

The first silver stage for the son Alex
The opening ceremony of this year’s Dakar Rally was spectacular. There was a large event with the representatives of the Argentine Government held in Rosario on Friday. Yesterday, on Saturday, then held ceremonial parade of all participants on the podium, which lasted approximately six hours. Aerobatic aircraft embroidered ornaments above the town, helicopters circled and each of the competitors could enjoy his moment of glory. Interest of the Argentinean fans was huge. Three million of them should gather for the preshow to Rosario. But that’s nothing compared to the expected ratings in the world. More than 70 television stations in 190 countries will broadcast the race!
Aleš commented it: ”Beautiful atmosphere, Argentines were amazing as usual. We also had a short meeting with the winners of the competition by Budvar and Sherlog. We had dinner together and also talked about the Dakar. But now we are going to the start of the first stage. Suerte – as locals say – good luck!”
The first stage ran from Rosario to San Luis (liaison section 629 km, special stage 180 km). After the start in Rosarion the racers went along the Rio Tercero. They drove 405 km through Caňada de Gomez, Villa Maria and Rio Tercero towns. About 50 km after the Rio Tercero started the 180 km long first special stage. It coiled like a snake in the form of the letter S in the foothills of the Sierra de Córdoba with Champui peak, which rises to a height of 2790 metres above sea level. Dirt-stony measured section started at 500 meters above sea level, the end was already located at an altitude of approximately 2100 meters above sea level. Right at the 29th kilometre waited the first control point for the racers. After passing the special stage travelled the racers 224 km to the southwest to San Luis.
504 crew may be satisfied with the gained second place and our pilot Aleš added a personal message: “The first Dakar silver this year. It could be gold, but there was a small navigation mistake. But it is a very nice result compared to the Kamaz team and other major competitors. The stage measured nearly 200 km and the spacing between the first and second place is only ten seconds! This shows the current difficulty and evenness of the category. After a long and busy day with almost 900 km on the road we have finally arrived to the bivouac. The working on the Queen 69, which today went well, started again. Both Tatra now receive the necessary service and the mechanics will not stop until the morning. Dakar has already started. And I, respectively we have started up in a personal life. My son Alex was born a few days before the race. This symbolic stage silver I would like to dedicate to him and his wonderful mother. Although I wanted gold for him (and it was damn close), I believe he can wait a while and we will succeed with the Queen… Thank you all for your good wishes and support that we receive during the race from fans.”
We add our congratulations not only to the team for a great start, but especially Alex. Lot of health, happiness and success in many races that the life will bring to him!
DAKAR STAGE 1: Loprais finished 2nd after being first at CP1.
Czech Aleš Loprais and his “snouted” Tatra took the lead at CP1 (km 28.7) ahead of Dutchman Pieter Versluis and his Man. There was a gap of 1′08″ between the two men, who are followed by Gerard de Rooy’s Iveco (+1′09″) and Ayrat Mardeev’s Kamaz (+1′16″). Martin Kolomý and his Tatra lie in fifth place (+1′19″), with Eduard Nikolaev in sixth (+1′22″). Tomas Vratny was 12th, Artur Ardavichus 3oth. At the wheel of the second Iveco, Hans Stacey is seventh in the provisional classification (+1′24″). Not long later, Kolomy stopped for over 10 minutes, but continued however.
At the finish, it was however Ayrat Mardeev (Kamaz) who finished 1st with Aleš Loprais (Tatra) 2nd, 10 seconds adrift. Van Vliet (MAN) came home 3rd, 21″ slower than today’s winner. Arthur Ardavichus finished 16th.

Chagin comments on this year’s Dakar
Vladimir Chagin, the undisputed Tsar of the Dakar
By Tim Sturtridge on 4 January 2014 in Rally Raid
We get inside the grill of the most successful single category pilot in the history of the Dakar.
RedBull.com: It was a job well done last time out with three Kamaz trucks on the podium, are you confident of your drivers achieving the same result in 2014?
Vladimir Chagin: I was very satisfied to see our drivers winning all three places on the podium. We even surprised ourselves with this achievement but we soon turned our focus to next year. We want to prove that the results last time out did not come by accident and that our new generation of drivers can be even more successful than the last. I have great respect for our competitors such as Tatra and Iveco and I’m fully aware that they will have been working as hard as we have in preparation for the 2014 Dakar. We’re expecting a very interesting race and we will do our best to delight our fans once again.

Josef Macháček won even in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2007, when the quads category was assessed only in the context of motorcycles.
Interest for this year’s race route covers the section in Bolivia, which would introduce the participants to the largest salt plain in the world – Salar de Uyuni. Although organizers plan only crossing of the motorcycles and quads (cars and trucks will go a different route), Aymara Indians want to block the race. They fear that the rubbish will remain on the salt plain after the participants and cars will damage the snow-white glossy surface. In contrast, Bolivian president Evo Morales, Aymara himself, hopes that the Dakar Rally will attract the world’s attention to this area and encourage tourism. The salt plain is situated at an altitude of 3600 meters and covers and area of more than 11 000 square kilometres. In November it always becomes a roost of South American flamingos. During the Bolivian section there is rain expected in this area which will turn a crust on the surface to the endless mirror. At the same time, however, increases the danger that the surface will break under the heavier cars. “There is only one route for everyone, and it doesn’t allow the passage of cars and trucks,” said the head of the Dakar Rallly Etienne Lavigne on the official website of the race.
We wish you a nice weekend. Count on with us hours remaining until the heaviest and the most amazing off-road race break out.
