At the Dutch pre-prologue of the Dakar 2013, we heard that Loprais will race a Tatra Jamal similar to the vehicle crashed by him in the January Dakar 2013.  A fear to loose his main sponsors when continuing with VEKA-MAN and insurance money that finally has been paid to the Loprais team after the Dakar 2012 crash, were the reasons to change back. The VEKA team regrets the stepping down of the Czech driver who raced succesfully for them in this year’s Sil Way rally, finishing 4th after a long battle wit overall winner Nikulajev.   But……………..WELCOME TO TATRA, ALES!
