Yazeed Al Rajhi: "We've narrowed the gap"

Dakar 2025 | Stage 4 | AL HENAKIYAH > ALULA
January 8 ^th 2025 - 19:59 [GMT + 3]

Mission accomplished for Yazeed Al Rajhi, who won the special to Al-'Ula and lies second overall, 6'54" from Lategan.

"It was a tough stage for everyone. We had three punctures, so we had to take it easy for the last 50 kilometres, without any spares left. It's important to win the stage, because at the halfway point, we really decided to go for it. In the end, we're in a good position and we've narrowed the gap at the top of the standings, but there are still eight days of racing left. Tomorrow we'll be opening the road, so it'll be different, but it will be in the sand, and I think it will be easier to follow the tracks."
