There's a dude I like in particular among...
this crazy bunch. You can find him on
http://www.stanovnik.com but unfortunately there's no english version of the site. So allow me a short summary:
1986:
First motorcross race for National Championship.
1996:
His first Granada-Dakar. Finished and received the Fair Play award.
1997:
Dakar-Adagez-Dakar: finished second in the production class.
1998:
Paris-Granada-Dakar: didn't finish due to dislocated shoulder.
U.A.E. desert challenge: Winner of the production class.
1999:
Granada-Dacar: ranked 44th after a zillion technical problems (a small miracle he finished at all).
2000:
Paris-Dakar-Cairo: didn't finish.
Baja Italy: finished 10th overall.
Optic 2000 (Tunisia): 11th overall and 2nd in prototype class.
U.A.E. desert challenge: finished 26th overall.
The 2001 Paris-Dakar race is the first race that he actually has some support crew!
