Dakar: Toby Price wins stage 10, Van Beveren leader
As we said yesterday, today it was mainly important to navigate well. Toby Price did well and won the stage between Wadi Ad-Dawasir and Bisha. Yamaha rider Adrien Van Beveren again takes first place in the standings.
So the devil was in the tail. Sam Sunderland lost 11 minutes and Matthias Walkner even 15 minutes due to navigation errors. For example, Van Beveren only had to finish fourth to take the lead in the rankings. Toby Price won the stage ahead of Luciano Benavides and Joan Barreda. With two stages to go, everything is still possible for the first five in the standings.
Jérôme Martiny was once again the fastest Belgian and came in at 32th place. Mikael Despontin turned 49th, Mathieu Liebaert 59th. The Dutch also did well today. Wiljan van Wikselaar came in on 43th place, Mirjam Pol turned 48th. You can get all the results read here.
Tomorrow is the penultimate stage in this edition of the Dakar Rally. The ride goes from Bisha to Bisha, a detour with a special of 346 km. The ride promises to be spicy with a multitude of different dunes and sections with the famous 'fesh fesh sand'. It is a very difficult stage that could seriously upset the rankings.
