Around the race is group of our friends, who just arrived to Chile to follow Dakar (bikes transported as cargo earlier) and they just met our guys yesterday. I think, they may be there...
Anyway..
OK, Some update regarding rear wheel help to Knuiman - after some investigation, it was one of Martin Macek´s sponsor (IVAR.CS), who helped to organise the wheel there. People who supplied the wheel are from Australia, visitors, who joined him on some BMW organised tour around there. He had martin´s riding jersey and belt for the trip, so that´s why I swapped those two. Anyway... just to make things clear. I belive, help organised by spectators is not allowed, but... who cares
