Nasser Al-Attiyah wins third Dakar Rally title; Toby Price wins bike class

LIMA, Peru -- Nasser Al-Attiyah won his third Dakar Rally crown while Toby Price won his second motorbike title in a race that featured one last twist Thursday.

Price came to the 10th and final stage after racing almost 5,200 kilometers with only a one-minute lead over Pablo Quintanilla. Just 10 kilometers into the dune-heavy, 112-kilometer course from Pisco to Lima, Quintanilla fell off his bike and injured his foot.

The chances of winning a first Dakar evaporated instantly, but the Chilean got back on his Husqvarna to try to save a podium place. He lost 19 minutes, though, and finished outside the top 10.
