A second win for Quintero, by one second!
FOCUS
From an aerial point of view, the day’s special could be seen to take place along a line stretching from west to east through the provinces of Al’Ula and Ha’il over a distance of 428 km. On zooming in, it became evident that the riders, drivers and crews experienced an especially varied stage, with an equal amount of quick, sandy tracks and passages...
ALULA > HAIL
The competitors will be thrown in at the deep end, with super-fast tracks from the get-go. However, the pace will come down, as is only natural, once the race hits sandy ground. Next, the mosaic of landscapes in this stage will take the field to stony terrain on the outskirts of Hail. For many, simply making it to the rest day of the Dakar is a victory in itself. It will be a well-deserved success for those who manage to reach this hallowed site of Saudi rally-raids in decent(-ish) shape.
