Brabec is now 45 seconds behind Sanders in the overall ranking, and 9’30’’ ahead of Luciano Benavides who retains third place.
Al-Attiyah won stage six by almost three minutes ahead of his Dacia teammate Sebastien Loeb who is now up to sixth overall and less than 10 minutes away from the podium (and 17’36’’ off the lead of Al-Attiyah).
Saturday will be this year’s rest day. The 2026 Dakar will resume on Sunday with an almost-900km (462km of special) stage from Riyadh to Wadi Ad Dawasir.
