The Spanish driver Carlos Sainz (Mini) has confirmed that during the ninth stage of the Dakar, played on Tuesday, he first suffered a navigation error and subsequently an accident with a tire, problems that diminished his leadership in the general classification.

Subsequently, the Madrid had to overcome a new obstacle. “In the second part, the tread of a tire has suddenly come out. We have not punctured, but we have had to stop to change the wheel. In this car it is long and it is three minutes,” he said.
