Current Silk Way Rally Marathon winner in the motorcycle category Ilya Shcheglov said after the fifth stage of the race that after his equipment got wet he did not expect to win.
The fifth stage of the rally took place on Tuesday on the route Kosh-Agach (Russia) – Khovd (Mongolia). Shcheglov took third place in the motorcycle standings.
— The special stage was not easy: stones, sand, stones in the sand that you can’t see, very dusty, especially the last 30 kilometers. But I have another problem: on the second stage I got caught in a heavy downpour, now the bike lives its own life – it constantly stalls. It’s been three days now and I can’t find the problem. It’s great that I managed to finish today, maybe I wouldn’t have finished. Now I just want to get to Ulan Bator, I’m not driving in race mode anymore, “the correspondent reports, citing Shcheglov’s words.
The Silk Road Rally ends on July 15 in the capital of Mongolia.
