Sunderland solid in tough Dakar day

Sam Sunderland put in yet another strong performance for fourth in stage eight of the 2021 Dakar Rally, to hold on to third in the event overall. Honda’s Jose Ignacio Cornejo won the day to extend his lead in the event from Sunderland’s KTM team-mate Toby Price.

And Briton David Knight had a solid day with a 24th place finish and is now 34th on the race, with Neil Hakwer 47th today and is 45th overall.

Marking the second half of the rally’s marathon stage, the 709km day eight offered no respite for the riders. Leaving the temporary bivouac at Sakaka behind and heading west, a 226km liaison led riders to the start of the 375km timed special. Comprising a challenging mix of sandy tracks followed by difficult to navigate stony pistes, the stage to Neom would test all riders’ skill and endurance on the second of two incredibly tough days in the desert.

Following his solid performance and fourth fastest time on stage seven, Sam Sunderland soon found himself near the front of the pack on stage eight, having to carefully navigate his way around the mixed-terrain special. Despite losing a little time early on, which dropped him down the closely-fought leaderboard to 13th, Sam steadily fought his way back to ultimately complete the stage in fourth. Although not enjoying the best start position for Tuesday’s stage nine, Sunderland, lying third overall, will have the opportunity to chase down the two riders ahead of him in the provisional standings.

Sam Sunderland:“I’m just trying to take each day as it comes at the moment. My pace has been good over the two days of the marathon stage, but it’s certainly been tough. Riding about 1,600km on the same tires and wheels is pretty good going, although they are looking a little second hand now. The pace is so fast and at the same time you’re trying to look down at the road book and check your navigation – it’s not surprising you’re going to hit a rock now and again. I’m glad to get another day done and I’ll keep on doing my best and we’ll see where we are at the finish.”

Another top-10 stage result moves Matthias Walkner up to 21st in the overall standings. The Austrian, having aided teammate Price on the first leg of the marathon stage, was able to use his 17th place start position to great effect today – chasing down the leaders to finish in a strong eighth place, just six and a half minutes down.

Toby Price endured a mixed first leg of the marathon stage. The Australian led till well over the halfway point when unfortunately a rock sliced open his rear tire, forcing him to ease his pace to the finish. Not able to change or swap the damaged item due to the marathon stage rules, Price carried out a makeshift repair last night before today taking on the 709km stage eight. Riding cautiously, Toby successfully completed the stage in an incredible second place. Testament to the quality of the tire, and the repair made by the Australian, Price remains well in the hunt for the podium, lying second overall in the provisional standings.
