Sainz regains control on stage 10 as Dakar Rally battle heats up posted: 15/01/2020

Al-Attiyah and Peterhansel lose over 10 minutes to the Spanish car legend

Two-time winner Carlos Sainz regained control of the 2020 Dakar Rally car category from his long-time rivals Nasser Al-Attiyah and St phane Peterhansel after they lost over 10 minutes each to the Spaniard during Wednesdays stage 10.

Here is all you need to know:

- Todays stage saw a deterioration in weather conditions with the race directors deciding to halt proceedings after 345km between Haradh and Shubaytah due to strong winds.

- After Tuesdays stage nine, Qatari driver Al-Attiyah had reduced Sainzs overall lead to just 24 seconds while Frenchman Peterhansel stood a competitive six minutes and 38 seconds behind the Spaniard.

Stephane Peterhansel

- With the leading trio boasting an astonishing 12 Dakar Rally car titles between them, Sainz got the upper hand again on Wednesday as he dug deep in Saudi Arabia to dominate the stage for another victory.

- The 1990 and 1992 WRC champion finished 3m 05s ahead of Polish driver Jakub Przygonski with 2009 Dakar champion Giniel de Villiers third 4m 26s behind.

Jakub Przygonski

- Peterhansel could only come in 10th and Al-Attiyah 17th as Sainz opened up an 18m 10s lead over Toyota driver Al-Attiyah and 18m 26s lead over his MINI Buggy team-mate Peterhansel in a crunch stage boost.

- Thursdays 744km stage 11 looks likely to be the last big chance to cut the overall deficit to Sainz with Fridays final stage only 447km into the Qiddiya finish.

Mitchel Guthrie

- Al-Attiyah, 49, admitted: At one point we got a little bit lost - that was just for two or three minutes. After getting that waypoint we took the wrong way, which took us 20km extra to drive. This is how it goes.

- American Ricky Brabec finished second in the bike category to increase his advantage to 25m 44s over Chilean Pablo Quintanilla with defending champion Toby Price still in fourth place, Austrian Matthias Walkner sixth and Argentine Luciano Benavides seventh overall.

- Australian Price, 32, revealed: There were a lot of accidents this morning and there werent enough helicopters around to help us out. Its all for a good reason, but it didnt help me get back the time I need.

- American Mitch Guthrie Jr. won the third SxS stage of his debut Dakar race with fellow Red Bull Off-Road Junior Program member Blade Hildebrand right behind.

Matthias Walkner

- Compatriot Casey Currie still holds a lead of 46m 40s over Russian Sergei Kariakin with defending champion Chaleco Lopez 1hr 14m 58s back as he eyes a podium.

- Andrey Karginovs run of four stage wins finally came to an end in the truck category, however Team Kamaz Master team-mate Anton Shibalov could only take 2m 27s out of his big overall lead.

Luciano Benavides

- Russian Shibalov, who lies 36m 08s behind Karginov, explained: It was an interesting stage with some dangerous parts where the dunes dropped sharply.

- Chiles Ignacio C sale had a very bad day to finish 44m 59s behind the quad stage winner, nevertheless he still leads Frenchman Simon Vitse by 16m 18s overall.

Anton Shibalov, Dimitrii Nikitin, Ivan Tatarinov

- The competitors are on their own tonight, denied the assistance of their mechanics, before racing 379km back to Haradh tomorrow during stage 11.
