Toyota Gazoo Racing

Nasser Al-Attiyah hasn’t made a single mistake since his first win of the Dakar Rally. The leader of Toyota Gazoo Racing took another win on Wednesday, although he had a long fight with Henk Lategan. At certain stages of the leg, Lategan was quicker than Al-Attiyah. Al-Attiyah only secured the win in the last 40 kilometres of the stage. Lategan ended in third place, but was praised by Al-Attiyah afterwards. "It wasn't an easy stage”, Al-Attiyah said. “We lost a minute to an error, but we were hardly the only ones to make a mistake and we quickly got back on track. Opening up a gap is difficult, but today it was good to have my teammate Henk Lategan right behind me. That's exactly what I need, a fast driver who can help me out."

Giniel de Villiers showed his potential in the fourth stage to Riyadh. The experienced driver had a lot of trouble in the opening days of the race, but bounced back with P15 in stage 4. Shameer Variawa had one of his better days during stage 4, he finished just outside of the top-20.
