AMODJAR / AKJOUJT

​​​​​​​​​​​​​De Rooy gets stuck twice in stage 10​

"It was a beautiful stage, but it was so difficult. Extremely soft sand, too soft." In that loose sand in the tenth stage of the Africa Eco Race, Gerard de Rooy got stuck twice. Fellow Dutchman Jan van de Laar had to come to the rescue to pull the Team PETRONAS De Rooy IVECO out. So this time it was Van de Laar who came to the finish as the fastest truck in Akjout and not De Rooy.​​
