Sam Sunderland posting the fifth fastest time, just over four minutes down on the eventual stage winner, after he completed the 662km stage five of the 2021 Dakar Rally. He’s now fifth overall, on a day when Honda’s Kevin Benavides took the win and the overall lead.
Jamie McCanney’s time in the rally was brought to an end as the Manxman encountered a technical issue on his Yamaha halfway through the stage. The other Brits, David Knight and Neil Hawker, had good rides. Knight was 38th and is now 41st overall, while Hakwer was 45th for 51st overall.
Leaving Riyadh behind, stage five of the rally delivered one of the physically toughest timed specials of the event so far. For 456km, riders raced against the clock over a variety of terrain, starting with rough, stony tracks in the early stages, before opening out into softer, undulating dunes on the drop down to Al Qaisumah.
Demonstrating his trademark consistency over the course of stage five, Sam Sunderland navigated superbly through the technically demanding first part of the special, losing the minimum amount of time compared to some of his rivals. As the stage opened out into the dunes, Sam was able to stick to a solid but safe pace, slowly moving up the stage ranking as he went. Fourth at the penultimate check, Sam dropped down to fifth at the line, due to the hard-charging Price slotting in ahead. With five stages safely completed, the British rider lies fifth in the provisional standings.
Sam Sunderland:“Day five is in the books and done thankfully. It involved a lot of tricky navigation through the canyons and rocks at the beginning of the stage as there weren’t many references and it was difficult to find the right track. I certainly did a few circles there in the first part. After that I had to push because I knew I had lost some time, but everything went well, and I was happy to reach the finish. It’s been another long day, especially with the liaison back to the bivouac, so I’ll get some rest now for tomorrow. One more day of racing and then it’s the rest day and I’m definitely looking forward to that.”
Friday’s stage six of the 2021 Dakar Rally will see riders make a final push before enjoying a well-earned rest day. Heading west from Al Qaisumah, the 618km stage leads to Ha’il and includes a timed special of 448km, with the route primarily made up of sandy tracks and dunes.
