South Africa's Henk Lategan won the Dakar Rally prologue in the cars category yesterday, kicking off the sixth edition in Saudi Arabia that will stretch nearly 8,000 kilometers across 12 stages.
Lategan, driving a Toyota Hilux, finished a second clear of Sweden's Mattias Ekstrom over the 29km run in Bisha, with five-time Dakar champion Nasser al-Attiyah of Qatar third.
The prologue times do not count towards the overall standings, but those in the top-10 get to choose their starting position for the first stage today, a 499km route featuring 413km of timed sectors.
