Aussie Price wins Dakar Rally stage

Australia’s Toby Price has won his second stage of this year’s Dakar Rally to consolidate his third spot on the overall motorcycle standings with one stage remaining.

Matthias Walkner is a step closer to becoming the first Austrian to win the motorcycle category after finishing fourth on Friday.

He has an advantage of 22:31 over the rider in second place, Argentina’s Kevin Benavides from Honda.

Price is nearly 28 minutes behind the Austrian, but appears assured of a podium finish thanks to a 22-minute edge over Antoine Meo in fourth place.

Saturday’s final stage in Cordoba is not expected to produce any dramatic changes in the standings.
