After two days riding in the slipstream of his tyro teammate Edgar Canet, Australia's Dakar Rally champion Daniel 'Chucky' Sanders has asserted his authority on the race, winning stage two to take the overall lead.
Sanders dodged camels and avoided crashing on a tricky stony stage in the Saudi Arabian desert.
The victory was his 10th stage on the Dakar Rally, making the Victorian the 22nd rider in the race's history to achieve a double-digit score.
