Dakar leader Al-Rajhi out after big accident on Stage 6
The 48-hour Chrono stage began on Thursday, requiring drivers to complete a 549km distance over two days. Many drivers took it easy at the start to ensure they arrived safely at one of the seven camps by 4pm local time. Unfortunately, the overall leader, Al-Rajhi, suffered a serious accident at the 51km mark, severely damaging his Toyota Hilux. He is reported to be 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 be allowed to start Stage 7 on Sunday. Carlos Sainz Sr. has taken the overall lead due to Al-Rajhi’s troubles, surpassing Nasser Al-Attiyah.
