Tuesday the third stage of the Dakar Rally 2022 was on the programme. For a number of Dutch participants, Dakar has got off to a good start. No less than three Dutch contestants are in the top ten of the rankings in their discipline. Take a look at all the rankings and the performances of the Dutch competitors.
In the motorbikes, there are only a few changes in the top ten, but Sam Sunderland remains in the lead ahead of Adrien van Beveren. The three participating Dutchmen all managed to climb slightly in the standings, with Wiljan van Wikselaar the best classified in 45th place. In the Quads, Laisvydas Kancius fell back far, even outside the top ten, and Pablo Copetti is the new leader in the standings. There are no Dutch riders in this category. In the SxS category Austin Jones remained in the lead of the classification. The best Dutchman in this category is Gert-Jan van der Valk who moved up to 18th place in the standings.
Nasser Al-Attiyah again strengthened his lead in the classification despite finishing eighth in the stage. The top three remained unchanged, but Yazeed Al Rahji managed to climb to fifth place. Best Dutchmen are Tim and Tom Coronel who moved up one place to twentieth. Janus van Kasteren obtained a nice third place in the third stage, but does not move up in the classification. Martin van den Brink (ninth) and Richard de Groot (tenth) are also in the top ten of the standings.
