Macík's Liaz will no longer continue, the organizers have excluded him from the Dakar Rally

To the great disappointment of the trio Martin Macík jr. , Miloslav Janáček and Michal Mrkva , the Dakar adventure ends prematurely. " The feared has become reality. We have to say goodbye to Dakar 2015 with an excellent tenth place in the sixth stage. However, this gives us confidence that we are able to fight with the marathon elite in trucks and that next year our performance will be better, "said Martin Macík Jr. about the unhappy fact.

" We tried to at least stay in the race with a big penalty, but in the end the Dakar management decided we couldn't continue. We're sorry, but the Dakar Rally is also about luck and we didn't have that this year. I think we did well, and if the technology had not betrayed us, everything could have turned out completely differently, "continued the youngest pilot in the truck peloton.

" But surely not all days are over. We are already building a new and stronger truck for next year and are preparing projects with the support of which we will appear at the start of Dakar 2016. This year it was a good experience and we are grateful for it, " added the twenty-five-year-old Macík.
