Nasser Al-Attiyah will breathe a sigh of relief after the latest stage of the Dakar Rally.
Toyota’s Henk Lategan showcased remarkable speed during the seventh stage of the Dakar Rally, dominating the waypoints and nearly overtaking Nasser Al-Attiyah for the lead position. However, Lategan’s lead quickly disappeared in the final stretch of the stage, losing time instead of gaining on Al-Attiyah. Despite Nasser Al-Attiyah not performing at his best, Lategan’s lead dwindled, allowing Mattias Ekström to claim victory and second place overall. Nani Roma’s overturned penalty from the fifth stage pushed him into third place, further complicating Lategan’s position in the standings. The reasons behind Lategan’s lost lead remain unclear, leaving fans wondering about the sudden turn of events in the Dakar Rally.
