Victoria de Peterhansel y Marcaje al hombre de Al-Attiyah a Loeb en Bisha

Stéphane Peterhansel has had to wait for the tenth stage of the Dakar to achieve his first partial triumph with Audi. 'Mr. Dakar' has completed the special with the final around Bisha in a time of 2 hours, 52 minutes and 53 seconds, a record that has served to lead the German manufacturer's double, every time Carlos Sainz has been second. The madrileño pilot finished 2 minutes and 6 seconds from his teammate. The Argentine 'Orly' Terranova, co-piloted by Dani Oliveras, was the third stage in which Nasser Al-Attiyah carried out a marking exercise on Sébastien Loeb.

Coaches...In the tenth stage of the Dakar there is a chance to be favorable for Audi's interests, closing the Ingolstadt firm in its particular circle of success. Carlos Sainz won the first triumph with the Audi RS Q e-tron in the third stage, while Mattias Ekström managed to debut his achievements in the octave. Now, Stéphane Peterhansel has his partial victory in a journey in which Carlos Sainz has been second and 'Orly' Terranova third. South African Henk Lategan was behind them in the fourth position after finishing 4 minutes and 25 seconds from the stage winner behind the wheel of his Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+.

In the fight for Dakar, a favorable match for Nasser Al-Attiyah, even if he had given 1 minute and 25 seconds to the Frenchman Sébastien Loeb, time to sum up the five-minute sanction that he received in the last hour of the afternoon for one irregularity at the time of putting on the belt and Hans after stopping to change a rueda for a pinch in the ninth stage of the rally. With these 6 minutes and 25 seconds discounted, Al-Attiyah still maintains 32 minutes and 40 seconds of advantage over Loeb in general, discounting a really complicated stage in his counter.

In addition, Nasser Al-Attiyah came out of the positions behind Sébastien Loeb in the morning stage, since Kuba Przygonski was stuck between them in sixth position. In a journey in which Lucio Álvarez and Mathieu Serradori have reached a good level, the saudi Yazeed Al-Rajhi has finished the tenth of the other step towards his goal of climbing the podium of the race, even if he has lost almost 4 minutes con 'Orly' Terranova. In the Spanish clave, Nani Roma finished 18th to three minutes from the head, while Carlos Checa and Laia Sanz finished the day half an hour from Peterhansel.

Trucks...Dmitry Sotnikov has entered the category of trucks in a tenth stage that takes him one step closer to achieving the 'Touareg'. The KAMAZ pilot has completed the special in 3 hours, 14 minutes and 15 seconds, summing up to a minute and average general advantage over Eduard Nikoalev. The lack of two stages for the final of the rally, the difference between both is 10 minutes and 18 seconds. In today's stage, Andrey Karginov was third, if this place is in general, it's for Anthon Sibalov. However, Karginov's performance was valid to climb the fourth position of the classification.

With triplet in today's stage and dreamed 1-2-3-4 in general, KAMAZ definitely plays in another league. That's why it's convenient to look at the best of the rest, the role that Ignacio Casale has played in the tenth stage. However, the most important point is that Janus Van Kasteren is now the best pilot in the KAMAZ in general, placing fifth with the IVECO of the De Rooy team. His ascent is written in the misfortune of Ales Loprais, since he has not been able to complete that stage today. He then says goodbye to a 'top 5' that Martin Van den Brink has had in just over half an hour.
