For the first time since 2019, Sebastien loeb (Prodrive) returns to victory in the Dakar this Monday January 3. The Alsatian and his Belgian co-driver Fabian Lurquin won the 2nd stage, a 338 km special between Ha’il and al-Qaisumah in Saudi Arabia.
In the general classification, Loeb retains 2nd place, just over 9 minutes behind Nasser Al-Attiyah. “The track was good and visible all the way, in the end it became a WRC special between two WRC drivers. We were at full capacity, I managed to glean little by little, probably helped by the fact that he opened the track“said the Frenchman on arrival.
