There was a clear winner on Stage 4 of the 2017 Silk Way Rally<\/u><\/a> as S\u00e9bastien Loeb<\/u><\/a> took charge of the day\u2019s racing from start to finish. The Frenchman with nine World Rally Championship titles arrived in Kazakhstan\u2019s capital city with a lead of over an hour from his closest competitor thanks to a superb display of driving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite being charged with opening the road there was never any sign that Loeb and his Monegasque co-driver Daniel Elena<\/strong> were exercising caution. The pair pushed their Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi<\/strong><\/u><\/a> to the limit with pace and precision over the day\u2019s two timed sections of 214km and 159km.<\/p>\n

The fact you can count Loeb and Elena\u2019s entries into two-week rally-raids on one hand makes today\u2019s performance truly astounding. However, with 10 long stages still to play out nobody was getting ahead of themselves back at the bivouac in Astana.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see what advantage we can take from today\u2019s result but that will only start to show when we get back to racing tomorrow.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Loeb<\/em><\/p>\n

Underlining the quality of Loeb\u2019s performance was the contrasting fortunes that hit his Peugeot team-mates St\u00e9phane Peterhansel<\/strong><\/u><\/a> and Cyril Despres<\/strong><\/u><\/a>. Peterhansel\u2019s hopes of winning this year\u2019s race appear over after he rolled his car on Stage 4. The 13-time Dakar winner and co-driver Jean-Paul Cottret<\/strong> were eventually able to drive on, coming home to the bivouac 3h04m20s behind Loeb.<\/p>\n

Despres\u2019 hopes of another Silk Way title were also damaged on today\u2019s route from Kostanay to Astana. Despres and co-driver David Castera<\/strong> got stuck 166km into the first half of the timed special stage and lost valuable time before they were pulled back onto the track by Dmitry Sotnikov<\/strong>\u2019s Kamaz truck.<\/p>\n

It was only Loeb\u2019s car that got through the stage unscathed as the Mini of Bryce Menzies<\/strong><\/u><\/a> and co-driver Pete Mortensen<\/strong> also ran into difficulty. These rally-raid rookies have come to the Silk Way to find out what it takes to compete at a two-week rally-raid and today\u2019s stage was an eye opening experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came into a 90 degree left turn and I hit the brakes probably way out and the car just started sliding. We ended up sliding into a ravine.\u201d \u2013 Bryce Menzies<\/em><\/p>\n

At the midpoint of the Silk Way\u2019s first week things have begun to stabilise for Team Kamaz Master<\/strong> with all four of their crews finishing inside the Top 7 on Stage 4. This result has propelled the four Kamaz drivers into the Top 10 overall with Anton Shibalov<\/strong>, Ayrat Mardeev<\/strong> and Sotnikov all within 22m12s of truck race leader Martin Kolomy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing for us to do is to stay alert. We simply must not make any mistakes.\u201d \u2013 Ayrat Mardeev<\/em><\/p>\n

With dramatic swings of momentum at the pinnacle of both the car and truck races over the first quarter of the Silk Way it\u2019s clear we should expect the unexpected. Tomorrow brings with it 484km of timed racing on the route to Semey with plenty of scope for things to turn on their head once again.<\/p>\n
