The Saudi also had a very good operation on Friday: 4th before the stage of the day, he infiltrated the podium to steal second place from Sébastien Loeb. The general classification is still largely dominated by Nasser Al-Attiyah, who finished 10th, 6’16 ” behind the winner of the day. He is now 50’19 “ahead of his new runner-up, and is heading more than ever towards final victory.
The loser of the day is therefore without question Sébastien Loeb. Yet in sight – a stage victory, three times in second place – since the start of the Dakar, Terranova’s teammate has lost very big on Friday. Arrived in 28th position, more than twenty minutes from the winner of the day, he fell, by just six seconds, one place in the general classification. Here he is third, with a little more than 16 minutes ahead of 4th, Lucio Alvarez (Overdrive Toyota).
