Dakar 2026 // SS4: X-raid crews master the first marathon day

The X-raid team and the crews are spending the night in separate bivouacs today. While the mechanics have already travelled on to Hail, the competitors are staying in a different camp, where they must manage without any infrastructure – and, most importantly, without their mechanics. Getting there was anything but easy: Lionel and Lucie Baud reached the finish in 49 th place in the MINI JCW Rally 3.0d and now hold 38 th position overall. Their teammates Maria Gameiro and Rosa Romero finished 75 th in their MINI JCW Rally 3.0d, placing them 67 th in the general classification.
