Al-Attiyah: “Victory is possible”

Nasser Al-Attiyah, who took over six minutes Carlos Sainz in one (short) stage, knows that he can still win in this 2010 Dakar. The Qatari driver does not, in any case, want to hear about team instructions, he who is now at 8:36?? of his teammate, leader of the general classification. “ If I had wasted time on him (Sainz) today, then maybe the team would have given instructions, underlines Al-Attiyah. I don't want instructions. »

The Qatari is now full of hope and cannot believe the quality of his performance this Monday. “ Victory is possible. There are 8 minutes difference. The fight goes on. I am here to win the race and I will do my best. Tomorrow, the special will be of type WRC, without sand. It won't be a problem to open the road on this kind of stage. Today, I made the difference in the sand by attacking from the start. I first caught De Villiers then Miller. I'm really happy because, in all my life, I have never attacked so much. Never? »
