 | SA-Dakar: Third stage vistory and overall lead for Vladimir Chagin & Kamaz.
|
The truck race on Stage 4 on Wednesday was once again dominated by the master of the discipline: The Russian Vladimir Chagin gave himself the birthday present of a second consecutive triumph with his Kamaz. This is his third victory since the beginning of this edition of the Dakar, meaning Kamaz has picked up all the stage wins so far on this Dakar.
Chagin beated his team-mate Firdaus Kabirov by more than 2 minutes. Ales Loprais (Tatra) in spite of a flat tyre in the last few kilometres of the special, finished in third in front of the German Franz Echter and his dutch MAN TGA. In the general standings, the Tsar Chagin increases his lead, which now stands at 8:41 over Kabirov, 12:36 minutes to Ales Loprais and 46:08 to Franz Echter.
