Oliveras had actually checked positive for coronavirus over 3 weeks earlier and said he has completely recovered since.
However, the Spaniard has actually stopped working to return an unfavorable test outcome before flying to Saudi Arabia for the start of the Dakar.
On Monday, the group revealed that Alex Wincocq will be Oliveras’ last-minute replacement together with Roma.
” It is incredibly frustrating for Dani (Oliveras) not to be able to assist Bahrain Raid Xtreme in the groups first Dakar Rally, but I am happy to join Nani and grateful to the BRX group for inviting me,” said Wincocq, who has a wealth of Dakar experience, having made his very first appearance in 1999 as a mechanic.
” I had been preparing for the Dakar for a long time, however my previous plans did not play out the way I had actually expected, so to get the opportunity to take on such an experienced and competent driver as Nani, is hugely exciting.”
Roma included: “I would much like to thank Dani for all his commitment and support in preparing for the Dakar Rally, and sorry that he will not have the ability to put all the effort into practice.
” I have actually known Alex for a long time, and he is a really knowledgeable and skilled individual to have along with me. We are prepared to hit the ground running together, and the whole team is excited to have him join us, especially at such short notification.”
The Dakar Rally begins on January 3 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
