TURN OF EVENTS: Danilo Petrucci stops, no more Dakar for him!

The participants are busy tackling the second stage, from Ha'il  to Al Artawiya, but with a whole lot of turns of events and misfortunes for  Danilo Petrucci.

The KTM rider supposedly had a problem with his 450 Rally at kilometer 150 and was unable to resolve it.  He ended up having to request a helicopter to rescue him. Unless he returns with a jolly – where he’ll however have to face a really steep  penalty in terms of time –  his Dakar will end here.

Stay tuned for further updates.
