Dakar: Joan Barreda Bort wins second stage
Today the roles were reversed as Daniel Sanders was now given a lot of time. The second stage between Ha'il and Al Qaisumah was won by Spaniard Joan Barreda Bort. Sanders finished 25rd 23 minutes laterth.
Barreda had to tolerate Rui Goncalves in the first part of the stage, but then dominated in the second half. The Spaniard was five minutes faster than Sunderland at the finish. Kevin Benavides, another loser on Sunday, also did quite well in third place. He finished ahead of Husqvarna's Skyler Howes and KTM's Toby Price.
The four Belgians were also well on their way today. Jérôme Martiny was the best with a 39th place. Wiljan van Wikselaar was the best Dutchman in 40th place. The organization had to improvise somewhat and did not allow the riders to drive to the Al Artawiya bivouac. So much rain had fallen there that other places were sought. In the standings, Sam Sunderland leads with 2'51" minutes ahead of Adrien Van Beveren. Sanders follows at 3'29". You can view all results via this link.
Tomorrow the pilots will drive from Al Artawiya to Al Qaysumah, but this journey may still change due to flooding in Al Artawiya. Good navigation and the right choice of tires are crucial during this ride.
