S. African leads rally but star duo in trouble
The Straits Times
|January 07, 2025
Saudi driver Yazeed Al Rajhi held on to his overnight lead to win the fearsome "48-hour Chrono" - the second stage of the Dakar 2025 rally - on Jan 6, while defending champion Carlos Sainz of Spain limped in 1hr 30min behind.
-
The 43-year-old racing in his home country completed the 967km special stage, spread over two days, in 10hr 56min 54sec, despite a two-minute penalty for speeding.
He was followed by South African Henk Lategan at 4min 16sec with Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah, who overtook Al Rajhi briefly to hold the lead for 142km, finishing third.
Lategan tops the provisional standings, 4:45 ahead of Al Rajhi, with Al-Attiyah in third. Sebastien Loeb is sixth, 18:56 off the lead.
"We looked after the car for the stage because we knew it was really, really long," said Lategan.
