After being the fastest yesterday, Pablo Quintanilla is in trouble and definitely out of the fight for the Dakar 2024. This Thursday, he lost a lot of time during the first part of the 48-hour marathon stage.
According to the official website of the race, the Monster Energy Honda man ran out of fuel just before reaching the refueling point and was already losing 1h26m to the fastest, his teammate Ricky Brabec.
Quintanilla said: ‘It’s a sad moment. I was being careful with my fuel, but 10km before the refueling point I ran out of gas. It’s tough when you work so hard and for so long for this race. I always try to do my best, but that’s life. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t‘.
