\nAGADIR: Sebastien Loeb powered his way to a vital stage victory for Bahrain Raid Xtreme to take the lead in the Rallye du Maroc, as the Prodrive Hunters dominated proceedings in the Western Sahara.<\/p>\n
\nThe nine-time World Rally champion won the 315 km competitive section from Agadir to Tan-Tan on Monday by 10 minutes 15 seconds from BRX teammate Orly Terranova, with Guerlain Chicherit in another Hunter completing the top three on a dramatic day in Morocco.<\/p>\n
\nThe result lifted Loeb from seventh overnight into an outright lead by eight seconds from Terranova, with Chicherit just 4:12 away in third place overall.<\/p>\n
\nMost significantly, the French star finished the day with a massive 33:18 advantage over Qatar\u2019s Nasser Al-Attiyah, his fierce rival in the battle to become the first World Rally-Raid (W2RC) champion.<\/p>\n
\nWhile the trio of Prodrive Hunters had all lost ground through a combination of mechanical, tire and navigational problems on the previous leg, this time it was Al-Attiyah and Saudi Arabia\u2019s overnight leader Yazeed Al-Rajhi who found trouble.<\/p>\n
\nLying second at the end of the first desert stage, Al-Attiyah plunged out of contention after three punctures forced him to wait for assistance, while the same problem late on the stage dropped Al-Rajhi to fourth overall.<\/p>\n
\nFor the second day running, Chicherit impressed on his first competitive drive in the Hunter, setting the pace on the early part of the stage.<\/p>\n
\nIt was then Loeb\u2019s turn to increase the power and take the stage lead before the halfway point, with Terranova also making good progress to take the Hunters to the top three positions, before the Argentine moved ahead of Chicherit.<\/p>\n
\nMonday\u2019s leg had begun with a 119-km journey from Tan-Tan to the start of the rally\u2019s second desert stage, which included a variety of terrain up to a large plateau at the midway point, followed by a succession of dunes.<\/p>\n
\nThe stage finished at the new Laayoune bivouac, located on an imposing site overlooking a wadi, where the Rallye du Maroc set up camp for two nights. Tuesday’s 299-km third desert stage follows, with another two set to take place before the finish in Agadir on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
