2018 Dakar Rally
Statistics, Stage 8
The 2018 Dakar Rally continued Sunday, January 14, with the
eighth stage – a 585-kilometer run (561 km for trucks) from Uyuni to Tupiza,
Bolivia. Tupiza is the last destination in Bolivia before competitors arrive in
Argentina on Monday, with the first stop there in Salta.
Nothing changed at the top of the overall leaderboards, but
two drivers – Simon Vitse (quads) and Dmitry Sotnikov (trucks) – each earned
their first stage victories of the event. Reinaldo Varela (SxS) added to his
stage win total and now leads all drivers across all categories with four stage
wins. French drivers Stephane Peterhansel (cars) and Antoine Meo (bikes) each
triumphed for a second time this event; Peterhansel recording a 40th career
stage victory in cars.
While there were no overall lead changes, the bike category
remained tight. Adrien Van Beveren now leads Kevin Benavides by only 22 seconds
heading into the next stage. In all other categories, the gap between first and
second remains at least 45 minutes or higher.
Here are the winners/leaders and some of the statistics
following the eighth day of the 40th Dakar Rally.
