The first competitor to reach the finish of the timed sector of the prologue around Jeddah, the Lithuanian quad rider Laisvydas Kancius, was lost for words trying to describe his delight at kicking off the 2021 Dakar.

"I'm really happy! The track was fast and there were many rocks. I had problems with my tyres."
