Carlos Sainz has taken the overall lead of the 2018 Dakar rally thanks to back-to-back stage wins coupled with Peugeot team-mate Stephane Peterhansel’s lengthy stop with a broken left-rear suspension.
As a result, Sainz now holds a huge advantage over nearest challenger Toyota’s Nasser Al-Attiyah who has been promoted into second place but trails the leader by 1hr 11m29s.
