Haradh: Qatar's Nasser Al Attiyah hit the gas yesterday to win stage 9 of the Dakar Rally as Saudi Arabia's Yazeed Al Rajhi took the lead in the drivers’ standings.
South African Henk Lategan was dethroned having dominated the standings since stage 2 and is now 7min 09sec behind the Saudi driver with three days to go.
“It was a messy, messy, messy day for us but it’s not the end of the world, we’re still in it,” said Lategan.
Five-time champion Al Attiyah covered the 357km special between Riyadh and Haradh in 2hr 52min 59sec, to keep in touch with a sixth Dakar title.
