Dominant performance
KTM rider Sanders extends his Dakar lead!
KTM rider Daniel Sanders has won his fourth stage, including the prologue, at the 47th edition of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia, extending his lead in the motorcycle classification to 13:26 minutes!
The Australian's closest rival is Tosha Schareina (ESP/Honda), while his team-mate and defending champion Ricky Brabec (USA) is currently fifth, almost half an hour behind. The rally ends on January 17.
Among the cars, after nine-time world rally champion Sebastien Loeb was banned from continuing, his Dacia team-mate Nasser Al-Attiyah also got into trouble. A puncture and later a problem with a rear suspension dropped the former overall runner-up back to seventh place.
The day's victory went to local hero Yazeed Al-Rajhi in his Toyota, which enabled him to reduce the gap to his team-mate and overall leader Henk Lategan to 6:54 minutes.
