Dakar Rally TICKER: "Absolute nuts. The dunes in the first 53 kilometers stretch have been the toughest we’ve tackled since a long while. Bonkers. We’ve had to deflate once and use the sand boards to restart plus a puncture later on," reported Dirk von Zitzewitz, navigator of Giniel de Villiers who finished 3rd today with their Gazoo Toyota Hilux. "In the second part we had to go back and forth inside a canyon to get out, and it took 3 attemps to climb a dune. But a useful day all in all."
