Motorsports / Dakar Rally 2025: Daily Race Highlights and Rolling Coverage

– American Seth Quintero banked his second 2025 stage win on Thursday to become the youngest ever driver with multiple stage wins in the Ultimate class, after edging out five-time winner Nasser Al-Attiyah. The Qatari moved up to fourth overall behind South African leader Henk Lategan, despite a 10-minute time penalty for leaving behind a flat tyre. Twenty-two-year-old Quintero, who now occupies ninth overall heading into the Ha’il rest day, said: “Yesterday we got three flats and lost over an hour, so today I thought let’s just go for it. All in all, it was a really rough Marathon Stage for us but day two ended up a lot better than day one.”
