Dakar: Another win for Price, Walkner plays it safe.
After the third 'rest day', Toby Price managed to book his second stage victory in the 40th Dakar Rally. The Australian managed to stay ahead of his KTM colleague Antione Meo by just under a full minute during the ride from San Juan to Cordoba. The Argentinian Kevin Benavides finished third and made up some ground on Matthias Walkner. The Austrian still has a 22-minute lead and looks set to secure KTM's 17th win in a row tomorrow. Maikel Smits was also the best Dutchman today, the Brabander finished 26th.
