The Dakar 2024 began its second week of racing today. After the rest day in Riyadh, 873 kilometers (483 of which were special stages) awaited the competitors from the Saudi capital to Al Duwadimi. On paper, this stage was considered one of the most challenging in terms of navigation. However, it was for another reason that a new favorite saw their title hopes vanish.<\/p>\n

From the 47th kilometer, the Swede Mattias Ekstr\u00f6m tore off the left rear axle of his RS Q e-tron. Rescued by the duo St\u00e9phane Peterhansel\/Edouard Boulanger, the Audi number 207 finally waited for its assistance truck to make the repair. The German team preferred to keep Peterhansel in support of Carlos Sainz in case anything happened to the Spaniard.<\/p>\n

Because ahead, there was no time to waste. On a cloud, S\u00e9bastien Loeb and Edouard Boulanger gained back ten minutes on the Carlos Sainz\/Lucas Cruz duo. By winning their third stage on this Dakar, the Alsatian and his Belgian co-driver are now less than twenty minutes behind the Spaniards in the overall standings, and take advantage of Ekstr\u00f6m’s setbacks to move into second place.<\/p>\n

The Prodrive Hunter from the Bahrain Raid Xtreme team seems to be launching an assault on the only Audi that can still win the victory next Friday in Yanbu, on the shores of the Red Sea. A two-way battle is therefore emerging between former Citro\u00ebn teammates in the WRC. Unless Lucas Moraes, currently one hour behind Sainz this evening, takes advantage of the two champions’ failures in front of him.<\/p>\n
