One Qatari near victory in Dakar Rally
CORDOBA, Argentina (AP) — Nasser Al-Attiyah of Qatar drove his car and Marc Coma of Spain rode his bike without any major problems in Friday's next-to-last stage of the Dakar Rally, setting themselves up for victory on Saturday.
Al-Attiyah finished 6 minutes, 11 seconds behind the winner and defending champion Carlos Sainz of Spain to take third in the 12th stage. Overall, Al-Attiyah leads Giniel de Villiers of South Africa by 48:21 and Sainz by 1:21:16. The three leaders all drive Volkswagens.
"It really was the hardest stage of my life because I had to keep focused and not make any mistakes," Al-Attiyah said. "Sometimes I was going fast, sometimes slow, because I needed to keep my concentration and keep the same pace."
