The gloss was taken off Nasser Al-Attiyah's stage win by the retirement of Carlos Sainz

The blow of Carlos Sainz’s retirement was softened by Nasser Al-Attiyah making it five stage wins from a possible six for the Qatar Red Bull Rally Team at the 2013 Dakar.

Nasser and co-pilot Lucas Cruz planned to attack on the 455km timed special stage from Arica to Calama and they executed ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/bittersweet-day-for-the-qatar-red-bull-rally-team/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

With a third stage victory on the Dakar 2013, Francisco Lopez provided a worthy celebration of the rally's arrival in his native Chile and moved into position behind the French trio of Pain, Despres and Casteu in the general standings. In the car category, Nasser Al Attiyah won his 17th special stage and gained on Stéphane Peterhansel, but, as team manager, this was tempered as his ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/chile-stage-6-arica-to-calama-with-soft-dunes-prior-the-hidden-rocks-video/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Rarely in the Dakar does everything go as planned, or so Nasser Al-Attiyah found out as both team leader and head driver of the Qatar Red Bull buggy program, combining the joy of his stage six win today with the disappointment of Carlos Sainz’s early retirement in the other buggy.  “I've had a lot of problems since the start of the rally, and today just took the biscuit!” said ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/al-attiyah-wins-stage-6-as-his-teammate-sainz-retires/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For some the dunes of Dakar are a blessing. For most, they are a curse. 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. Meanwhile, Francisco Lopez took his second win in three days in the Bikes category in similar dune-bashing fashion.

It's hot in Pisco. Yet the results of the first special were a burst of freshness, with Ignacio Flores and his quad seizing Peru's maiden win. Meanwhile, Chile took control of the motorcycle category as Chaleco won the stage and two other Chileans got into the Top 4.

Stage one of the Dakar is what it normally termed a warm-up before they tackle the major sand dunes in Peru. However, it also is a sign of how well one tuned up their cars, bikes, quads and heavy trucks in preparation for the 2013 challenge.

Whilst Peterhansel, Roma and Holowczyc are approaching the 35th edition of the Dakar
with the ambition of confirming the Minis’ dominance, the threats could come from
