I congratulate you with the triumphant performance on the eminent Dakar.
Our crews in the truck category have traditionally become admitted leaders of this authoritative and prestigious rally. Strong rivals don’t stand still. Notwithstanding this fact you keep the victorious plank, year after year prove your superiority in driving, in strong will and character.
The deserved champion’s title became the result of hard and concerted work of the whole KAMAZ-master Team – co-drivers, drivers, technicians, support of numerous fans. And surely this success is particularly valuable, symbolic present for the 50th anniversary of KAMAZ plant.
Again, I congratulate you with the win. I wish you new sport achievements and good luck.
Vladimir Putin
