Stage 9
Moto: Walkner is the new boss
Honda’s Nacho Cornejo has won the special on stage 9 by 1’26’’ ahead of Kevin Benavides, 1’47’’ in front of Ricky Brabec, 2'06''ahead of Matthias Walkner and 2’10’’ in front of Joan Barreda, making it a very close top 5 today. In 8th and 9th place, Quintanilla and Van Beveren have finished 5 minutes behind the stage winner, whilst Sam Sunderland completed the stage 8'03'' behind. In the general rankings, the balance tipped in favour of KTM’s world champion on the last portion of the special. “Hiasi” Walkner now leads Sunderland by 2’02’’. VBA has managed to withstand the assaults of Quintanilla and the Yamaha rider trails Walkner by 3'56''. The leading trio is the same as this morning, but in a different order and it is the first time KTM have led in the 44th edition of the Dakar. Quintanilla, 4'41'' behind the Austrian, is less than one minute from the podium. Title holder Kevin Benavides has also closed in today and is only 10'22'' behind the new general rankings leader, accompanied by his Honda team-mate, Joan Barreda, 10'57'' behind. Price and Brabec are further back, trailing by slightly more than 35 minutes, though they will be the 10th and 11th riders to start tomorrow’s special.

LW Proto: Ninth victory of the year for Quintero!
Seth Quintero has written his name into the Dakar history books by winning his ninth special this year! The Californian has equalled Hubert Auriol, Jacky Ickx, Vladimir Chagin and Nicolás Cavigliasso who achieved the same feat before him. There are now three stages for Quintero to try and equal or even attempt to beat the record held by Pierre Lartigue (10 in 1994).

SSV: Marek Goczał beats Austin Jones
On completion of the day’s special, Marek Goczał has proved to be the quickest. The Pole has won for the fifth time this year, though it was a close-run finish, because Austin Jones finished in second place a little less than one minute behind. His brother Michał finished in third place, 2’36’’ behind. Rodrigo Luppi de Oliveira, who led on the beginning portions, finally finished 4 minutes behind Marek and the situation is similar for Aron Domżała, who completes the top 5 more than 5’30’’ behind the stage winner. Jones enjoyed a profitable day because he gained more than 7’ over Gerard Farrés in the general rankings.

Stage 10
Moto: Major reshuffle as VBA moves into the overall lead at the finish
Leading from the front after Honda's Brabec and Cornejo made a navigation blunder and his teammate Benavides withdrew from the race, Walkner seems to have also made a mistake in the finale, allowing the rest of the field to catch up with him. He came in 15′55″ down on the fastest time, set by Toby Price. Sunderland was also off the pace at 11′18″, while Barreda came in fith at 3′21″, VBA fourth at 3′35″ and Quintanilla ninth at 7′05″. VBA seized the overall lead for the second time this year. He now has 4′15″ on Quintanilla, 5′59″ on Sunderland, 6′47″ on Barreda, who is back in contention for the title, and 8′24″ on the biggest loser of the day, Walkner, who slumped to fifth place at 8′24″. The Dakar is never over before it is over!

LW Proto: Seth Quintero pulls level with Pierre Lartigue!
Mission accomplished!

The Californian has still got two stages left to try and improve on this result.
