The Husqvarna team captain won his second special stage this year and regained his place among the pretenders for the title. Olivier Pain, new race leader, is gradually cementing his place in this category also. Nasser Al Attiyah won a special in which many of his rivals lost out: the hopes of a podium finish were shattered for Robby Gordon, Carlos Sainz and Lucio Alvarez…

The fourth stage from Nazca to Arequipa was highlighted by the organisers.  During this special stage of 288 kilometres the immense dunes would separate the men from the boys. The Riwald Dakar Team survived the toughest test of the opening week. Erik Wevers finished 20th. Gert Huzink arrived in 23th position, his personal best of the Dakar Rally so far, which boosted him in the ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/huzink-makes-giant-leap-after-best-performance-in-4th-stage/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Stage 3’s day of dunes was always going to be hard and the competitors certainly weren’t
disappointed. At the head of the field Nasser Al-Attiyah in his buggy was shadowed
almost the whole way by Robby Gordon in his Hummer, while Carlos Sainz lost nearly half
an hour with an electrical problem and Poland’s Krzysztof Holowczyc crashed his X-Raid
MINI so hard that he needed to be ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/the-g-force-motorsport-rookies-have-ups-and-downs-in-stage-3/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Nazca - The third stage from Pisco to Nazca there was again one with an impact. Dunes, sand and stones alternated and caused quite a few shifts in the rankings. The Maxxis Super B Team had a good day; Sebastian Husseini grabbed for the third consecutive second place in the quads, Kees Koolen rode a strong stage and Jurgen van den Goorbergh finished as 26th overall.

Nasser Al-Attiyah is one of the few that sees them as the former, and thus used the high ridges of today’s Pisco-Nazca route to take his 15th career Dakar stage win.
