Toyota Gazoo Racings Henk Lategan Retains Overall Lead

Toyota Gazoo Racings Henk Lategan and his navigator, Brett Cummings, have retained the overall lead after stage five of the Dakar Rally from Alula to Hail.

Dacia driver, Nasser Al-Attiyah, reached the finish line first, 10 minutes before his nearest rival, another TGR driver, Seth Quintero.

But a 10-minute time penalty stripped him of the victory, and Quintero was declared the winner.

Tomorrow is a rest day for the drivers, after which the action will resume on Saturday.

Lategan says its been a tough few days, but that he is happy with where him and Cummings are.
