PEUGEOT 3008DKRs monopolise the provisional Dakar podium

The heavy rain that affected Stage 5 of the 2017 #dakar #rally didn't prevent Loeb/Elena from posting today's fastest time. This evening's leaderboard is topped by three PEUGEOT 3008DKRs, with Peterhansel/Cottret at the top of the pile in first place. • Poor weather led the organisers to chop 155km off today's 447km competitive section which provided the drivers and navigators alike with more hard work. Most of the crews reported getting lost at some point. • Running fifth in order, Loeb/Elena collected today's best time after visiting all the waypoints in front. The Franco/Monegasque crew is the first to claim two stage victories on this year's #event and their performance has seen them leapfrog from fourth to second place. • Peterhansel/Cottret were third fastest and are now in front, 1m9s clear of their team-mates, while navigational difficulties cost the overnight leaders Despres/Castera around 10 minutes.
