TOBY PRICE SIXTH OVERALL AT DAKAR RALLY

A mixed day for the Hunter’s Toby Price on stage four of the Dakar rally.

Following a group start on the beach in Peru, Price lost ground on the bike division leaders in the 100-kilometre stretch through the dunes.

But when his five minute penalty from stage three was rescinded by officials, he moved up to sixth overall.

The man everyone was chasing, defending champion Sam Sunderland, crashed out… and needed to be evacuated by helicopter because of a back injury.
