Story of the day: A happy birthday

What could be better than a victory in his home rally, with the chance of a final victory and the world title as a birthday present? That’s what Manuel Andujar gave himself today, as the two-time Dakar champion (2021 and 2024) celebrates his 28th birthday tonight! No doubt, today was a very special day for the rider born in Lobos, who won the stage (despite a 2-minute speeding penalty) and is leading the overall standings in the quad category.
