Sainz trionfa nella 9 tappa della Dakar e dimezzo lo svantaggio da Al-Attiyah

Carlos Sainz torna al successo di tappa alla Dakar, aggiudicandosi la nona frazione con partenza e arrivo a Copiapo, 270 km con 235 di prova speciale. Il vincitore della Dakar 2010 precede di 1'56" l'altra Volkswagen Touareg Race 3, quella del qatariano Nasser Al-Attiyah, e riduce così il distacco dal leader della corsa, ora a 3'18". A completare il podio la terza Touareg, quella del sudafricano Giniel De Villiers, classificatosi a 9'02" dallo spagnolo. Quarta posizione per la BMW X3 di Stephane Peterhansel con un ritardo di 11'14". In classifica generale, dietro al due Al-Attiyah - Sainz, terzo posto per De Villiers a 55'51"; quarto Peterhansel a 1h42'48".

MOTO

Nella categoria moto, il successo di tappa va invece a Jonah Street: lo statunitense della Yamaha precede di 3'38" la BMW del belga Frans Verhoeven e di 3'40" il francese David Casteu (Sherco). Più staccati, invece, i primi tre della classifica. Il francese Cyril Despres è infatti settimo a 6'03" ma riesce comunque a rosicchiare un minuto al leader della corsa, lo spagnolo Marc Coma, nono a 7'09" con l'altra KTM. Decimo il cileno dell'Aprilia Francisco "Chaleco" Lopez Contardo con un ritardo di 7'53". Coma guida sempre la generale con 8'14" su Despres e 23'33" su Chaleco.
