Back for a fifth Dakar

Robert Randysek is back for a fifth Dakar in 2020, driving a rapid assistance truck for the PH-Sport team. The Czech driver certainly knows a thing or two about lending a hand on the world's toughest rally, having helped compatriots Miroslav Zapletal and Martin Prokop to 7th place finishes in the cars, in 2009 and 2018 respectively. Robert, who celebrated his 50th birthday a few months ago, will be joined by French pair Geoffrey Thalgott and Erick Gilbert. Geoffrey already worked on the PH-Sport assistance truck last year -as a navigator for Hungarian driver Zsolt Darzsi- while this should be quite the baptism of fire for mechanic Erick, who is just 19 years old.
