Sam Sunderland encountered a big problem in today’s stage of the Dakar. The Red Bull GASGAS rider, who was the sixth to start today, doesn’t know how long it will take to solve the unforeseen issues.
According to the Dakar website, the British rider is facing a major problem that will take him some time to solve, as you can read: ‘Sam Sunderland, the sixth rider to start today, stopped after 11 km of the special stage. The British rider encountered technical issues and doesn’t know how long it will take to find a solution. It’s a big blow for the British cyclist who withdrew from the race very early last year due to injury.’
