It enters a new racing dimension. In recent years, he has won medals at the World Championships in freestyle motocross or the prestigious X-Games. Now Libor Podmol is a newcomer, but he does not intend to underestimate anything. That’s why he arrived in Greece three days earlier to test his motorcycle and be able to hone his navigation.
“I have two more days of training in Greece before the start to better acclimatize. On Thursday I put 100 on a motorcycle, on Friday 260 kilometers. I get used to working with road books and I get to know the terrain, “said Podmol, who takes the competition in Greece in preparation for the Dakar Rally.

His biggest fear before the start is from the rocks. “There are a lot of them here in Greece, sometimes they are hidden. If he hits at a speed of 100 kilometers, there could be a mess, “added the successful freestyle motocross racer. The company is done by the Slovak racer Stefan Svitko or his teammate Milan Engel.” I feel excited. I know that I will not have the performance of the best riders, but I will finally know what it really is about, “Podmol was looking forward to.
Stage competition in Greece is burdened by hygiene regulations in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. “Before leaving, I had to take a test in the Czech Republic, but I was tested again at the Greek border. The rules around the virus come to mind. When you fly to Greece on a plane with 100 people, you don’t need a test. If you drive alone, you have to do it, “said Podmol, who has only one goal – to successfully complete the complication.” The slogan of the race is 7 days, 1,700 kilometers and no excuses. I intend to stick to that. “
