Dakar stage shortened

THE second stage of the Dakar Rally yesterday has been shortened because of poor weather conditions in Argentina, race organizers confirmed.

Thunderstorms and heavy rain had already forced the cancellation of Sunday’s opening stage because of safety concerns, a day after 10 people were injured when a car crashed into spectators during the prologue. The weather was again expected to have an impact on yesterday’s stage, with race director Etienne Lavigne confirming it would be shortened by at least 150 kilometers.
