On the 11th stage of the Dakar Rally, Sébastien Loeb experienced a suspension failure, a weak point on the Prodrive Hunter, causing him to lose over an hour to race leader Carlos Sainz Sr. (pictured above). Sainz finished third in the stage behind Guerlain Chicherit and Guillaume de Mevius. In the motorcycle category, Ricky Brabec continues to lead, but Ross Branch narrowed the gap after winning the stage. Brabec leads Branch by 10m22s. In an unfortunate incident, Adrien Van Beveren encountered a herd of dromedaries on the tracks, resulting in a delay. Brabec, Sainz, and Brabec’s teammate Adrien Van Beveren are anticipating a competitive final day.
