BIKES | Correction: Barreda has indeed won the stage

Following new in-depth calculations on the time Nacho Cornejo spent waiting with Joaquim Rodrigues, it turns out that the Chilean lost a total of 7’35’’. This helped him to climb up the rankings for the day’s special, but not enough to prevent Joan “Bang Bang” Barreda from claiming his 29th victory on the Dakar.
