Description

The exploration of the region around Ha’il continued with a journey south of the city, following a route for a special that was 100% sand, where long stretches of off-road driving forced the competitors to use their navigational skills. Their prowess in reading the roadbook also came into play when selecting choices of direction made tricky by the recent rain on the terrain. Adrien Van Beveren’s stage win was precisely built on such qualities, whilst Nasser Al Attiyah especially focused on his driving skill on sand to taste victory, perhaps the two keys to success on the Dakar!
