It’s looking like a Mini sweep at the 2014 Dakar Rally as Minis continued to hold the top three spots after the 10th stage won by Qatari driver and former Dakar champ [2011] Nasser Al-Attiyah in Chile. Attiyah though, is still a distant third overall – 46 minutes behind current leader Nani Roma of Spain, while 11-time Dakar champion Stephane Peterhansel – also in a Mini – is a mere two minutes behind Roma in the runner-up position.
The highest ranked American is Robby Gordon, who currently resides in 23rd place overall in his Hummer – not a Mini – nearly 12 hours behind.
