Sports writing, Jan 15 (EFE) .- Argentine Manuel Andujar (Yamaha) scored the victory in quad and added the second title for his country in this Dakar rally, after Kevin Benavides in motorcycles.
Andujar has been the rider who has best known how to handle the toughness of the Dakar and has been in a position to win when his rivals have made driving errors or when his mechanics have failed.
In this sense, the abandonment of the French Alexandre Giroud benefited Andujar, who was left with the Chilean Giovanni Enrico as the only rival who could give him a scare, although the advantage gained allowed him to enjoy the victory many kilometers before the final goal.
American Pablo Copetti was third on the final podium, after Andujar and Enrico.
