MADRID, 18 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The French driver Sebastian Loeb (Prodrive) has suffered a breakdown during this Thursday's eleventh stage of the Dakar Rally and has asked the organization to pick them up, thus ending his options to fight for victory against the Spanish Carlos Sainz (Audi ), which thus cherishes its fourth overall victory in the car category.
“Sebastien Loeb and Fabian Lurquin stopped at km 132 due to a breakage. It is reported that the duo asked for help to pick them up and exit the special. Tomorrow, Friday, they will be able to start, but the fight for the overall victory is over.” , indicated the 'raid' on his official 'Twitter' profile.
The one from Alsace was Carlos Sainz's great rival for the final victory in this edition of the Dakar Rally, since he was just over 13 minutes away from two stages. In this way, the veteran driver from Madrid has it well on track to achieve his fourth victory after those of 2010, 2018 and 2020, all of them with a different brand (Volkswagen, Peugeot and Mini).
