Rally racing is not just about how fast you can ride or drive, it's also about how well you can follow the route.
Daniel Sanders lost his way soon after the start of stage nine of the Dakar Rally, but the defending champion found the right path quicker than the overnight leader, his KTM teammate Luciano Benavides, and has thus reclaimed the lead.
The Australian came second in the stage, four minutes, 35 seconds behind Honda's Tosha Schareina whose navigation skills shone brightest amid the dunes. But with time bonuses taken into consideration "Chucky" ended Tuesday's stage with a 6:24 overall lead over American two-time winner Ricky Brabec, and 7:05 over Argentina's Benavides.
