Uyuni > Uyuni The rivalry has been revived within the Peugeot team. After another demonstration by Sébastien Loeb yesterday, today triumph was in the hands of Stéphane Peterhansel. Taking advantage of the problems that befell Sébastien Loeb (a puncture and faulty electronics), the record holder for victories on the Dakar won the special and took hold of the lead in the general standings. With a finish 8'15 behind his countryman, Loeb lost the leadership of the car category by 27 seconds. In the bike race, Toby Price (KTM) was victorious, for the third time since the start. In the general standings, whilst the Portuguese rider retains command of the rally, Price has come back to within 35 seconds. The day also witnessed a considerable amount of withdrawals.
