The 7th stage of the Dakar returns to Lucas Moraes, Yazeed Al-Rajhi approaches Henk Lategan

Funny day Sunday on the Dakar, where the route between motorcycles and cars was separated, with a navigation error which affected several drivers around km 158 of this 7th stage, including most of the favorites like Mattias Ekström (Ford), Henk Lategan (Toyota), Yazeed Al-Rajhi (Toyota) or Nasser Al-Attiyah (Toyota). The South African, leader of the classification, had done better than the others by losing less time, but the race direction, who recognized an error in the note in the road book which had led to these big gaps, decided to remove from the classification a portion of approximately 20 km.
