Dakar 2026 // SS9: De Mévius and Baud in the Top 10

On the ninth special stage – the first part of the second marathon leg – the X-raid crews showcased the full potential of their desert machines. Guillaume de Mévius and Mathieu Baumel delivered an excellent performance in the MINI JCW Rally 3.0i, securing a strong fifth place. Lionel and Lucie Baud were equally impressive in the MINI JCW Rally 3.0d, crossing the finish line in an outstanding ninth position. However, both crews are unable to celebrate their success with the team just yet: they will spend the evening in the desert and must service their cars on their own.
