After a near-9000km slog and more than 44 hours of brutal racing over two weeks of unforgiving desert terrain, tobyprice87 has lost the dakar Rally by the cruellest of margins. 7NEWS
So these were deeply unwelcome new records for Price who ended up frustrated at losing crucial seconds with a few mistakes at the ‘waypoint’ markers dotted over the 136km ‘sprint’ to the finish
“Disappointment ... just a little frustrated that, on the last day, they played with these 20-metre rules for the waypoints, and I had to turn back and get three of them.
