Yesterday we tried everything, sun, dust, rain, mud, slippery roots and dry dirt roads. it is a mix of the best that the region has to offer. The first two stages are especially intense, but I can’t praise them enough.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow when we’ll do it all at a racing pace.” – Jakub Riha
