In a tough day’s racing in Stage Four of the 2024 Dakar Rally, Three Bridges’ Daniel Sanders has dropped back a few places in the overall rankings.
“We struggled a lot with the navigation as well as staying on the pace,” he said.
“At the refuel I lost my rear fuel tank cap, so there was fuel leaking all over the back of my legs.”
Riders will start Stage 5 bright and early with a long liaison section of 527km before the timed special stage, which encompasses a 118km race among the towering dunes of the Empty Quarter desert.
Sanders is now in eleventh place overall, 39 minutes and 43 seconds behind new leader Jose Ignacio Cornejo Florimo of Chile.
