Fifth stage Copiapo - Antofagasta

09.01.2015

We are done with fifth stage and it was hard and exhausting. Differences between the drivers are bigger now, but some drivers are still some seconds from each other and we are just in that group. Yesterday we finished stage on unpopular fourth place. The final position on the podium we lost in direct fight with Viazovich on his MAZ, despite the fact that he finished with considerably damaged truck, indicating a problem in the stage. The stage was full of various collision, which was visible according damaged trucks in the bivouac. Additional information will hopefully be in the video, if we'll manage to send it. After this stage we moved on the third overall position, surrounded by KAMAZ so we are not really feel comfortable between them. We can literally feel breath of Karginov behind us. There is a chance that he'll go easily through us, but we'll fight hard to not make him that so easy.

Today's stage from Antofagasta to Iquique consists of a connecting part of 322 km in and special stage 277 km long. At this stage we'll meet mountains, elevation of about 1,000 meters, dunes, so again something from everything. This time the trucks are going for start relatively early, at 11.51 local time. There is not many time to maintain the trucks and some extra time for rest.
