DANIEL SANDERS OVERCOMES ANOTHER CHALLENGING DAY AT THE DAKAR

RED BULL GASGAS FACTORY RACING STAR SOLDIERS ON THROUGH A TESTING FOURTH STAGE

Despite clocking the 20th fastest time on stage four, Daniel Sanders is now perfectly positioned to attack tomorrow’s fifth stage, which features a rolling sea of sand dunes, and work his way back up the leaderboard. With plenty of riders to chase down ahead of him, Sanders can ride with a little less focus on his roadbook, and a little more focus on getting on the gas through the power-sapping terrain. You’ve got this, Chucky!

Daniel Sanders: “A bit of a rough one today and I struggled a lot with my riding. It was pretty tricky to ride with a good pace while keeping an eye on the roadbook and those two things aren’t really coming together for me at the moment. Not my best day at the Dakar, but we’ll be back again tomorrow to fight another day.”
