Dakar triumph looms for Al-Attiyah after stage win
Bangkok Post
|January 18, 2026
Qatar's Nasser Al-Attiyah looked set for a sixth Dakar Rally title after the Dacia driver won Friday's penultimate 12th stage in the Saudi Arabian desert and extended his lead to 15 minutes with 105km remaining.

The stage win was the 50th of the 55-year-old's career, equalling a record in the car category held by Finnish rally great Ari Vatanen and France's 14-time winner 'Mr Dakar' Stephane Peterhansel.
In the motorcycle category, Honda's American Ricky Brabec returned to the top of the standings after taking a strategic decision on Thursday to drop back and get a better start position for the last big stage.
"To win this stage and to have a good lead now is really amazing," said Al-Attiyah after the 409km drive over rocks and sand left him on the verge of victory.
"You can lose everything today but we did a good job. One day to go, but we need to be smart and really focused."
