France's Stephane Peterhansel, a record 14-time winner of the Dakar Rally, crashed out of the 2023 edition on Friday as Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah won the sixth stage in his Toyota.
The 57-year-old Peterhansel, whose nickname is "Mr. Dakar" after eight car victories and six on a motorbike, "had an accident after 212km of the day's special", organizers said.
