Trucks: Van Kasteren blasts into the history books
Janus van Kasteren ended six years of undisputed Russian hegemony to add his name in the annals and bring Iveco's total to three Dakar victories. As usual in the most prestigious rally raid on Earth, it's consistency wot won it. Martin Macík did his best, winning the first two specials, but a brake problem in stage 2 cost him the lead. Van Kasteren, driving with Darek Rodewald and Marcel Snijders in the cockpit, was among the speediest in the race against the clock, although stage 4 kicked some sand in his gears and threatened to ruin it all. He lost nearly an hour that day and tumbled to fifth place in the standings, at the time led by the even more consistent Aleš Loprais. The Czech did not pursue stage wins at all costs, instead profiting from his rivals' blunders and misfortunes. The Tatra driver seemed destined for victory, but he had to retire ahead of stage 10 due to his involvement in an accident that claimed the life of an Italian spectator. Van Kasteren then inherited first place. The first driver not in a Kamaz last year, he managed to dodge the pitfalls in certain specials to power away, beyond the reach of his opponents. Neither Martin van den Brink, nor his son Mitchel, who became the youngest special winner in the truck race in stage 6, nor Macík managed to crack Van Kasteren, who wrapped up the 45th Dakar with three stage wins under his belt.

DAKAR WITHOT THE KING - KAMAZ

[@dslvf7211]

stop whining, none of us could have guessed

[@buchtovovidea]

I think a lot about Aleš Loprais...😞

[@andimilan5348]

The only thing that is possible to win is….No kamaz

[@tfnb9673]

This is the real amazing race

[@swim_rocket]

В 2022 Камаз забирает весь пьедестал, в 2023 их не допускают на Гонку👌. Спорт вне политики 🤝

[@vlgl6531]

KAMAZ MASTER WINNER! КАМАЗ МАСТЕР СИЛА! Политика вне спорта? нет, это двойные стандарты от запада. Вы знаете, кто лучший в ДАКАРЕ!

[@igorm4191]

If there is no Kamaz, there is no point to this category.

[@dedyprasetyo2020]

Kamaz keluar Jadi kesempatan bagus bagi tim lain Coba aja ada Kamaz pasti juara lagi

[@dslvf7211]

stop whining, none of us could have guessed

[@Денис-ъ9х5ъ]

Без Камазов 1 место в зачете грузовиков это фейк!

[@noonehere1793]

I love the trucks….

[@fesi1370]

Loprais is a best team on Dakar 2023💪🏻🇨🇿

[@МаксимНиконов-ы8д]

Камаз сила 💪 !!!!

[@MaxBorysuik]

Kamaz is the winner of the race in absentia!

[@dslvf7211]

stop whining, none of us could have guessed

[@9erner]

👍👍👍👍

[@potatoman649]

How boring this is without KAMAZ!

[@stonepasta5296]

I always imagine that these drivers must race through unforgiving terrain to deliver an important message like in the movie 1917.

[@roman9598]

Where is KAMAZ?

[@Sorga_myth_dewa_real]

#RainProjectOnDessert thanks,,hhe

[@Sorga_myth_dewa_real]

Pine oil bottled for wet and watery condition,,thanks,,hhe

[@edsonguidos8742]

Kamaz winner

[@baldisbasics7164]

without a KAMAZ dakar is not exist

[@aluminium3574]

De rooy created the truck category…. And of course we need kamaz back. Unfortunately the elites want something different…. They screw all of us!

[@stefamondo]

what's the maximum speed for trucks at dakar?

[@marcocappa3738]

150 km/h....they could run faster but they are limited after DAF turbotwin crash in 1988

[@mayronbolitari632]

DeRooy🇵🇱💪

[@fahmiromli2416]

Why they help another racer..this is race car to get 1st podium..can anyone explain

[@Zack_Axel]

Because while Dakar is a podium race, it’s a unanimous fight against an unforgiving environment. Winning isn’t everything and helping out your fellow racer, despite them being your competitor means that if you were to be in need of help, another competitor will lend a helping hand.

[@yomauser]

If you help someone, the time you spend helping is subtracted from your final time at the end of the race.

[@JamesHoffa1]

@@yomauser finally the real answer and not some "feel good" nonsense

[@AndRGS23]

Одни ивеко ездят ) какой интерес ? Где конкуренция?

[@tellinthetruthGD]

Would be awesome to hear the trucks and not the shitty music. We are racing and offroad fans. Please let us hear the glorious engines and exhaust notes, not damn violin

[@steenlassen5718]

Sportswashing! I like racing, but not when it gets prostitutional!

[@ВикторБурков-й8ы]

From Kamaz and Maz fans🖕😉

[@marcocappa3738]

Just say it to your president .....🇺🇦🇺🇦
