– The first day of the race. A new territory, it is always interesting! -said the five-time champion of Dakar Eduard Nikolaev-something reminds of the Ulyanovsk race: forests, paths, but the track is still different. Today was a prologue of 13 km. KAMAZs started first. It rained, Su was slippery enough. High slippery grass in places, so the task of the crews that started first was not to risk. The prologue was won by Yuri Naiman from the Ural Motorsport team. This is very good for sports intrigue in the cargo test. It is also a joy for local fans! Emotions are always important for our discipline. I am glad for the Urals. We have another strong opponent. It can be seen that the guys are gaining momentum. We hope that the whole race will be an interesting struggle!
The fourth position was taken by another crew of the “blue armada” of Almaz Akhmedov. The five leaders of the general testing Alexei Cherkesov at his BRP Can-Am Maverick XRS closed. He is still leading in T3, but his brother Dmitry Cherkesov finished the sixth and second standings of Baggie, losing his brother for only 16 seconds.

Its fellow-teams-Alexander Semenov and Dmitry Okhotnikov-closed the top 10. Both crews are still ahead of the rivals on the Toyota LC80 Denis Nazarkin and Andrei Nikiforov.
– Today there was a prologue of 13 kilometers, according to the results of which are the places at the start of tomorrow’s long special storage system. And he showed that we were preparing correctly! – Says the sports director of the GAZ team Raid Sport Vyacheslav Subbotin – We took first and second place in our class and start the first to immediately behind the trucks. It was curious to look at the new cars that came to this race. First of all, the flower, which performs in the T3, assembled in the workshop of Vyacheslav Paputsky, on which Alexander Mironenko rides. This is a new machine, with new characteristics, and look at its speed and compare with our cars will be interesting. Nissan Patrol, on which Leonid Petrov and Anton Palenev, are also interested in. They facilitated the car for 300 kg, and it is very interesting how it will go. The bridge prototype on the basis of Toyota LC80 Denis Nazarkin is still curious, who creates competition for our crews in the raid-sports. It is more powerful and very similar to our green gazelle, but while we are ahead of it. Although the whole struggle is still ahead!
