Daniel Sanders flourishes riding alongside fellow Australian Toby Price, taking big lead in the Dakar Rally's motorbike category despite tricky conditions.
abc.net.au/news/aussie-daniel-sanders-beats-desert-storm-take-dakar-rally-lead/101825398Daniel Sanders has ridden through treacherous conditions to win stage three of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia and take the overall lead.
"It was good, because we were two Aussies pushing through at the end and to pull away from some fast guys is pretty good."I think me and Price have come from a good background, with a lot of fast racing in Australia and it's paying off here on the Dakar'. Organisers said "calculations will be made for each of the riders in accordance with the average accomplished on the first part of the stage in order to attribute a finishing time to them."At the first refuelling point, after 240km, Sanders led 2020 winner Ricky Brabec by five seconds, but 34km later the American suffered a fall that put him out of the race. He was taken to hospital with back and neck pain.
