Dakar 2025 // SS5: Week one completed

The final two stages of the first week proved to be quite challenging. Just days after the grueling 48-hour Chrono Stage, participants had to tackle the marathon stage, which required them to spend the previous night without their teams. As in the first part of the marathon stage yesterday, sharp-edged rocks and difficult navigation tested the crews’ skills. Guillaume de Mévius and Mathieu Baumel finished the day in 12th place in the MINI JCW Rally 3.0i. Two positions behind them, teammates Guerlain Chicherit and Alex Winocq (MINI JCW Rally 3.0i) crossed the finish line. Denis Krotov and Konstantin Zhiltsov also secured a spot in the Top 20, finishing 16th in the MINI JCW Rally 3.0i.
