Après sept spéciales parcourues, Nasser Al Attiyah mène l’épreuve mais voit son avance diminuer. Annoncée comme difficile suite à son profil marathon, la septième spéciale...
tième spéciale a vu le classement général se resserrer à son terme.
Par Arnaud G.En effet, le leader, qui était dans le coup jusqu’au deux tiers du parcours, a finalement perdu du temps sur ces deux plus proches poursuivants.
Si Yazeed Al Rajhi a repris près de sept minutes à son compatriote, c’est le sud africain Giniel De Villiers qui signe la bonne opération de cette spéciale bolivienne.
Son retard sur la Mini de tête est désormais inférieur à dix minutes, et ne laisse augurer que de bonnes perspectives à mi course !
