00:00I've been fighting for this for 11 years, you know.
00:13In the last few days when we gained the top position in the general classification,
00:18I have to admit I felt a little bit nervous.
00:23When you are taking a wheel and you have the closest competitor
00:2616 minutes away, the clock is ticking in your head.
00:30It's been six years with Paulo and I never doubted a second driving with him into the desert.
00:46Max is a surprisingly mature specialist race mechanic.
00:52That's the nice thing about racing with those two guys.
00:55We feel like a bunch of friends going for a common goal rather than their professional colleagues, let's say.
01:05So I'm really happy because Deroid has a very long heritage in this sport.
01:09They are really putting everything to the result.
01:13I'm really grateful to be a part of such thing.
01:16I would say that Lithuania is Dakar rally met specifically.
01:24When I speak with my colleagues from Netherlands or France or Spain, they don't understand.
01:31You're way, way, way up north.
01:33Why are you so high about the desert?
01:40Lithuanian and Czech flags, top number of flags within any specific stage.
01:45So that's a really nice support.
01:50There are quite a few teams bringing back a very nice result to our country.
01:54So I think the general feeling will be really nice and will uplift the general mood about Dakar.
02:00Which is already really positive.
02:02But if one can identify the government that has been on the other end of October 2021,
02:19it's a great way to get into the world.
02:21You want to be able to get into the world.
02:23You just want to love to be a part of that of the world.
02:26You want to be able to get into the world?
