Sad and emotionally devastated. This is how the Chilean pilot is currently Pablo Quintanilla in full development of Rally Dakar 2024.
And a ‘false step’ left the native of San Antonio, who had just won the fifth stage, with practically no chance – except for a miracle – of winning the current edition of the event in the motorcycle category.
“It’s a sad moment”‘Quintafondo’ himself admitted in the middle of the pause in the sixth stage, which lasted 48 hours and was called ‘the queen’ of the competition.
“It’s hard when you’ve worked so hard. and for so long for this race,” he added.
The mistake that complicated Quintanilla in the Dakar
It was the organization itself that warned of Quintanilla’s problems in a ‘live’ report on its official site.
“Pablo Quintanilla, yesterday’s winner and last GP Rally driver to start today, had mechanical problems after 184 km. The Chilean is busy with the repairs and does not know when he will be able to resume the special,” he wrote.
However, minutes later, the information was updated: Quintanilla had run out of fuel about 10 kilometers from refueling.
“Pablo Quintanilla managed to refuel and resumed the special. The Chilean has lost more than an hour, which will seriously compromise his chances of getting on the final podium“added the Dakar.
Quintanilla, for his part, tried to explain what happened: “I have been very careful with the fuel, but 10 km before refueling I ran out,” he expressed uneasily.
“I always try to do my best. but that’s life. “Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it goes bad.”closed affected.
