Toby Price will be embroiled in a fantastic finish to the Dakar Rally, homing in on a third motorcycle crown but with only the slenderest lead to shield him going into the finale in Saudi Arabia.
Not only will the former Hunter product start Sunday's 14th and last stage with just a 12-second advantage, but the man hunting him down is his friend, Red Bull KTM teammate and fellow former champ Kevin Benavides.
It's the closest finish ever in 45 editions of the famous race. The previous narrowest gap going into the final stage was 26 seconds that separated leader Stephane Peterhansel from Nani Roma in the car race in 2014.
