First^e stage of this Dakar 2023 should end quietly for the Coronel brothers. Unfortunately, everything did not go as planned for Tim and Tom who ultimately took longer than expected to reach the finish of the special.

Indeed, the Dutch were victims of a major accident barely 5 kilometers from the finish of the 7^e stage of the Dakar. The Coronel brothers even rolled over, heavily damaging their T1. Luckily, Tim and Tom escaped unscathed, their car a little less...

Big big big crash in stage 7 kilometers before the finish line. We're okay, working on the car right now. Updates to follow soon! 😱# Dakar2023 #dakarrally pic.twitter.com/9SwRrq0xCi
