Driver Nasser Al-Attiyah and rider Ricky Brabec are set to win the Dakar Rally after dominating their closest pursuers in the Saudi desert on Friday. Both of them won the 311-kilometer 12th and penultimate stage between Al Henakiyah and Yanbu, the rally starting point on the Red Sea coast two weeks ago. The second stage win for both in this Dakar gave them overall leads — extended in Al-Attiyah's case — that are ample enough to secure a sixth car title for Al-Attiyah and third motorbike crown for Brabec, barring major mishaps.
