Alula, January 07, 2024, The Europe Today: Spanish motorcycle rider Carles Falcon was flown to hospital with serious injuries after he crashed near the end of Sunday’s second stage of the Dakar Rally in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
Race director David Castera told reporters Falcon had lacked a pulse but was resuscitated by the first doctor to arrive on the scene.
French veteran Stephane Peterhansel took the 50th car stage win of his record-breaking Dakar career as familiar names moved back into the reckoning and Spain’s Carlos Sainz took over at the front for Audi.
