Breaking news: First Dakar stage victory for Leob and Peugeot

Sébastien Loeb has caused an enormous sensation on the Dakar 2016 with his first stage victory on the rally. On a route that perfectly matched his skills, the Frenchman has managed to beat his illustrious team-mate and countryman by 2’23!

Although he was beaten by Sébastien Loeb, Stéphane Peterhansel can still be satisfied with today’s stage. The Peugeot driver seemed at ease behind the wheel of the new 2008, finishing the stage two minutes ahead of Nasser Al-Attiyah and even further ahead of other major players in the car category.

All times is still provisional.
