Dakar leader Al-Rajhi out after big accident on Stage 6
The 48-hour Chrono stage began on Thursday, requiring drivers to cover a distance of 549km over two days. Many drivers took a cautious approach at the start to ensure their safety at the camps by 4pm. Unfortunately, the overall leader, Al-Rajhi, suffered a serious accident at the 51km mark, damaging his Toyota Hilux. Al-Rajhi is reportedly returning to the start of the special, suggesting he may not continue the day’s proceedings. If his car is repaired and meets safety regulations, he may start Stage 7 on Sunday. Carlos Sainz Sr. now leads the rally after Al-Rajhi’s troubles, overtaking Nasser Al-Attiyah.
