Dominik St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd found an answer at Rally di Roma Capitale: withdraw before Sunday and preserve his energy for what comes next.<\/p>\n<p>St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd was tipped for a top 10 finish at Rally di Roma Capitale before tyre damage on stage two dropped him from fourth to 85th. Rather than push through the final stages, he decided to skip the Sunday action entirely. The strategy was clear: Rally Bohemia in the Czech championship and Rally Poland one week later demanded a fresh driver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have three races in four weeks, it&#8217;s not easy but we stay fresh and have the energy for the next two races,&#8221; St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd said. The Ors\u00e1k Rallysport driver estimated he could have finished around the top 10 at Roma Capitale without the puncture on stage two.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal was pragmatic but not painless. Co-driver Ond\u0159ej Kraj\u010da had competed at Rally di Roma Capitale with a broken right ankle, making the decision to stop all the more sensible. A one-time ERC event winner, St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd knew the Rome stages well enough\u2014the Sunday layout was similar to the previous year\u2014to make an informed choice about what he could afford to miss.<\/p>\n<p>By Saturday, St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd had shifted focus to Rally Bohemia, where he aimed to extend his lead in the Czech championship. The field was stacked with ERC drivers including Adam B\u0159ez\u00edk, Erik Cais, Jan Kopeck\u00fd, Filip Mare\u0161 and Simon Wagner. The back-to-back schedule left no room for sentiment about unfinished business in Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dominik St\u0159\u00edtesk\u00fd withdrew from Rally di
