00:00 The Valsdakka spirit is get the best in each other to achieve your goals, your sporting
00:10 goals.
00:11 And, how was today?
00:14 He's like a dad to me, you know, so I don't have to stress so much when my dad's not there
00:19 and I know he looks after me really well and you do it with everyone, all the riders.
00:24 Always running around doing something, working on everything, handling everybody's problems.
00:28 I mean, my dad's here, obviously, but he's like everybody's dad at the race.
00:33 We started with a group of friends in 2011, the owners of Bas Trucks plus four friends.
00:45 It's a young spirit that started with Ross Brench in 2018, Dakar 2019.
00:52 It was one of our first fast pilots.
00:59 The most important for me is the atmosphere in the team, the group.
01:04 It needs to be fitting together and what we see now with the young guys, they can help
01:09 each other, they can learn from each other and now we're proud of it.
01:13 It's nice to see.
01:18 I think the coolest thing about our team is that it's a privateer team, but we have a
01:23 factory feeling.
01:25 The setup is the same like the factory team with the look and how Bart really takes everything,
01:30 you know, he does everything professionally.
01:32 And for myself, I feel like a factory rider, but I'm a privateer still and that's what
01:37 the best thing is.
01:42 For me, being on a good team, being around good people and having a nice system that
01:47 works for you is super important and it's pretty much everything I could ever dream
01:52 for.
01:58 First thing that we are trying to do is to keep them calm because with Bradley, we see
02:04 the speed is there, they can ride a bike really fast, but you cannot ride fast as you can
02:10 navigate and then for the young pilots, it's important to close it a bit.
02:17 Yeah, he always tells us to slow down, which you know when you're young and you have the
02:24 speed you want to go wide open, but no, he's good.
02:27 He's been a long time doing Dakar, he's seen what can happen, how situations unfold and
02:35 he's a really good teacher.
02:37 Well, there have been mixed fortunes for Bass World this year.
02:41 Bradley Cox unfortunately crashed out on stage one, breaking his elbow, but Paolo Lucci is
02:45 battling for victory in the Rally 2 class and Mason Klein has been tearing it up in
02:50 Rally GP.
02:51 Bart and his team certainly know how to polish up Rally Road's diamonds in the rough.
