Sainz extends lead as Hildebrand captures side-by-side stage win posted: 13/01/2020
Spaniard in command at Dakar Rally as convoy mourns death of Gon alves.
Carlos Sainz extended his car lead following Sundays stage seven of the 2020 Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia, while the convoys thoughts were with the family and friends of bike rider Paulo Gon alves who died after falling during the stage.
Here is all you need to know:
- After Saturdays rest day, racing resumed with a mammoth 546km timed special stage that saw the convoy cross the sand dunes to Wadi Al-Dawasir.
- Two-time winner Sainz extended his lead to 10m over defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah with Frenchman St phane Peterhansel 19 minutes behind in third.
Jakub Przygonski
- Sainz, who has become one of only three drivers in Dakar history to have won stages on three different continents, revealed: We were flat out for a lot of time crossing the dunes. I caught up with St phane at one part, but it was very dusty so I decided to stay behind.
- American Blade Hildebrand was victorious on the day in his OT3 by Overdrive machine by over 11 minutes from overall side-by-side leader Casey Currie.
Blade Hildebrand
- Youngster Hildebrand is a member of the new Red Bull Off-Road Junior Program and follows compatriot Mitch Guthrie Jr. in winning a stage at this years edition.
- He said: I felt really comfortable from the get go, just ticking off kilometres and passing people. We had the pace so we just had to steer clear of flats and run clean.
Toby Price
- Reigning S&S champion Chaleco Lopez had a tough time to finish 53 minutes back, which sees Curries lead over the Chilean now rocket up to over half an hour.
- Argentine Kevin Benavides triumphed in the bike category with Austrian Matthias Walkner third, brother Luciano fourth and Australian Toby Price seventh.
Carlos Sainz
- American Ricky Brabec leads by over 24 minutes from Chilean Pablo Quintanilla with Price fourth, Walkner sixth, Luciano seventh and Slovakian Stefan Svitko 10th.
- Chiles Ignacio Casale finished 1m 31s back in third to retain his healthy quad lead, while Russian Andrey Karginov won another stage to cement his 21m 12s truck lead.
Matthia Walker
- All racing though was overshadowed by the tragic news that Portuguese rider Gon alves passed away from a fall after 276km. The 40-year-old was taking part in his 13th Dakar. He made his debut in 2006 and had finished four times in the top 10, including an impressive performance as runner-up to Marc Coma in 2015. Gon alves, the 2013 cross-country rallies world champion, was sitting in 46th place overall after Stage 6 of the 2020 Dakar.
- Race director David Castera declared: Paulo was an iconic figure who had been on the Dakar for a long time. Everyone knew him. He was really tenacious.
Andrey Karginov
- As a mark of respect to such a beloved figure in the Dakar bivouac, Monday's motorbike and quad stage has been cancelled in order to give riders time to mourn their friend. The entire Dakar caravan extends its sincere condolences to his friends and family.
