Al-Rajhi suffers title-ending crash on marathon Dakar Rally 48-hour stage



SHUBAYTAH: Carlos Sainz benefited from race leader Yazeed Al-Rajhi’s title-ending crash and Stephane Peterhansel breaking down in the desert, to take the provisional lead after the first part of the Dakar Rally sixth stage on Thursday.
The stage is an unprecedented two-day marathon around Shubaytah — a 780km loop in the kingdom’s vast Empty Quarter with more than 600km of specials for motorcycles and nearly 550km for cars.
