South Africa’s Giniel de Villiers stole the show as he claimed his 17th career stage win on Day 6 of the Dakar2021. | IOLsport

AL QAISUMAH – South African drivers and cars, Giniel de Villiers’ Gazoo Racing Toyota Hilux and Brian Baragwanath and Taye Perry in a Century CR6 Corvette stole the show on a bittersweet Dakar Day 6 on Thursday, while Kevin Benavides took another controversial bike victory for Honda.

De Villiers took charge from the get-go, from Eric van Loon's Hilux, Nani Roma's Hunter and Martin Prokop's Ford, while overall leaders Peterhansel and Al Attiyah traded places in fifth and sixth ahead of Baragwanath. Baragwanath guided by navigatrix Taye Perry, was the big mover and was up to second and closing on de Villiers, who had opened up a 7 minute lead as the crews entered the long final sector, as Peterhansl, opened a 3 minute advantage over overall rival Al Attiyah.

Moving on to the two wheeled race, Argentine Kevin Benavides picked his Honda up after a crash 100 km from home to bring it home to win the bikes and move into the overall lead despite a bloody nose sustained in his fall. He beat Honda teammate Jose Ignacio Cornejo Flormino, KTM ace Toby Price, Lorenzo Santolino’s Sherco, Sam Sunderland’s KTM. Husqvarna and KTM privateers Xavier de Soultrait and Skyler Howes, and Botswana hero Ross branch on his Yamaha.

None the less, Benavides now leads the consistent Soultrait, Flormino, Price, Sunderland, Santolino, Hoews, Branch, Barreda and Luviano Benavides overall as the leaderboard continues to fluctuate wildly day-to-day. The only upside is that the top ten remain within fifteen minutes, so this rally is anyone’s game…
