First victory for Sebastien Loeb in this Dakar 2023. Unlucky since the start of the mythical rally-raid, the Frenchman (BRX) [expander_maker id=”1″ ]won the fourth stage, Wednesday January 4, a loop of 573 kilometers (including 425km of special) around Ha ‘il (Saudi Arabia). The nine-time world rally champion finished ahead of his compatriot Stephane Peterhansel (Audi), at 13″, and the Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Audi), at 1’50”, according to a provisional classification.

Fourth at 2’06”, on Wednesday, the Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah (Toyota) maintains his comfortable lead in the general classification. Behind the title holder of the 2022 edition, the Saudi Yazeed Al Rahji (Overdrive, at 18’18” ) and Stephane Peterhansel (at 18’52”), are in a pocket handkerchief. Carlos Sainz is at the foot of the podium, at 32’55”. Despite his stage victory, Sebastien Loeb remains 14th at 1h33’43” behind Nasser Al-Attiyah, and will probably not win the Dakar, for his seventh participation.[/expander_maker]
