Toyota's defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah retained a comfortable lead of more than an hour after the Dakar Rally's seventh stage in Saudi Arabia on Saturday on another tough day for rivals Audi.
The seventh stage from Riyadh to Al Duwadimi, featuring a 333km special stage and 861km in all, was won by Saudi Arabia's Yazeed Al Rajhi for Overdrive Racing — his third career stage win and first of 2023.
Before the fifth stage he had accused organisers of “killing the race early” with the decision to allow more power to cars using renewable energy. “I like to defend my title fairly and at the first instant the decision did not seem fair. I now understand the situation better, and would like to apologise for my earlier post.”
