Dakar: Severe weather prevents the ninth stage.
The ASO, the organizer of the Dakar Rally, has decided to cancel the ninth stage. The weather conditions in South America are rainy and stormy, which causes problems in the bivouac. This also causes problems on the route, which is why the race management has intervened.
