Spanish driver Nani Roma won the 10th stage of the Dakar-2025 rally on Wednesday, which saw South African Henk Lategan return to the top of the general classification. The 52-year-old Spaniard’s Ford Raptor completed the 120km special in the dunes around Shubaytah in 2h 6m 34sec, his first stage victory on the famous rally-raid since 2015. Taking advantage of a silting which caused his Saudi competitor Yazeed al-Rajhi (Overdrive) to lose precious minutes, the South African Henk Lategan (Toyota) took back the lead of the provisional general classification for 2 min 27 sec. “It’s been a difficult rally for us from the start, we’re trying to have clean days. This morning we were very fast, then we understood that we had to slow down a little. We are happy for the team. The car is good, it is solid and the team is working well. declared Nani Roma upon arrival, 28 Dakars under his belt including two coronations (2004 on a motorcycle, 2014 on a car). The day’s podium is completed by the Brazilian Lucas Moraes (Toyota) at 18 sec and the Saudi Dania Akeel (Taurus) at 1 min 40 sec.
