Dakar Rally: Stage Four Ends In Saudi Arabia
After trouble with his electronic tablet during Tuesday's Stage 3, bike racer Daniel Sanders was given back 4m54s by race organisers before setting off on Stage 4. He continued his brilliant 2025 Dakar Rally in the first part of this year's Marathon Stage as the Australian navigated the 415-kilometre volcanic rock garden spreading from Al Henakiyah to AlUla safely on Wednesday as others in the convoy found it tough going on their tyres. It was a frustrating day in the Ultimate class as Frenchman Sébastien Loeb did not even start due to a damaged roll cage - which means he goes another year without an elusive Dakar title - while car debutant Australian Toby Price was undone after a string of strong results when he had to wait more than two hours for his service truck to arrive. Thursday's Stage 5 to Hail is a classic mix of sandy and rocky tracks on a timed special stage of 428km as the rally heads towards its rest day.
