Today, we left Riyadh very early after we got a new LED light for Tomas Ourednicek, a rally driver from Toyota Gazoo Racing Czech. The long 620 kilometers to Dakar bivouac in Hail we made in 8 hours and 45 minutes. Today, the rally set out on the seventh stage from Al Duwadimi. On this stage of two halves, with 279 kilometers against the clock, the competitors first battled on a thick layer of sand, sometimes in dunes, but not always off-piste. For the last hundred or more kilometers before the finish, the contest concluded on fast tracks with several rocky portions, requiring plenty of watchfulness.
