Team De Rooy very close to enter in history of the race. But it doesn't. After a race up and down teams managed by the great champion doesn't arrive in the first 3 position oh truck ranking. It's a very pity because at the 13th step gearbox broken and the fight for the victory finished.
Anyway, it was a good experience. Ton Van Genugten gave IVECO its sixth win in two weeks of racing and Artur Ardavichus postitioned the brand in the overall Top 5.
IVECO finished a new adventure through the world’s toughest roads with another success in this Saturday’s special, after being left out of the fight for the win due to the retirement of Federico Villagra in the penultimate day of competition while running one second behind the leader.
Thus, IVECO, who won the Dakar in 2012 and 2016 with Gerard de Rooy, achieved the greatest number of stage wins in 2018, with six, against Kamaz’s five. Two of those came from Federico Villagra, while the last four were celebrated by Ton Van Genugten.
This is the final truck ranking in Dakar 2018
