Qatar's Al Attiyah, driving a Toyota, finished second behind French 13 times winner Stephane Peterhansel in the 410 km ninth special stage from Wadi Al Dawasir to Haradh in the Saudi Arabian desert.

Two-times winner Sainz, who had led by more than six minutes at the overnight bivouac, was fifth in his Mini buggy. Peterhansel thrust himself back into the overall reckoning, now six and a half minutes off the lead after his third stage win of the 2020 event. Toby Price, the defending champion for KTM, was second on the stage and third overall, 26 minutes off the lead.

He had earlier explained how he came over a crest, saw a rider down ahead of him on the dunes and knew it was serious.
