Stephane Peterhansel kept his lead in the Dakar Rally, despite needing to repair a puncture in Tuesday's Stage 3 that started and finished in Wadi Ad-Dawasir. The X-Raid Mini JCW Team driver still managed to finish third, behind Nasser Al-Attiyah in first and Henk Lategan in second. Peterhansel now holds 05:09 minutes lead over Al-Attiyah in the overall standings. Carlos Sainz lost precious time after going off course and dropped from second to fourth.
