With the sixth stage, it is almost time for the rest day in the 2022 Dakar Rally. Friday's route runs in a loop again, starting and ending in Riyadh. In doing so, the routes will be reversed: the motorcycles and quads will follow the route taken by the cars and trucks in the fifth stage. However, the conditions on that route have deteriorated so much that the stage for motorcycles and quads has been neutralized.

Results Motorcycles

This means that the rest day for the motorcycle and quad riders starts earlier than for the rest. For safety reasons, the organization neutralized the sixth stage after 101 kilometers. The conditions on the route had deteriorated considerably due to the passage of the cars and trucks the day before, combined with bad weather. Therefore, the timings after 101 kilometers are used as the final result.

Daniel Sanders has won the stage. The Australian also won the first stage. Sam Sunderland follows in second place, with Matthias Walkner third. The complete top ten of the motorcycles is as follows:

1. Daniel Sanders 51:43
2. Sam Sunderland +02:26
3. Matthias Walkner +02:36
4. Pablo Quintanilla +03:15
5. Ricky Brabec +03:19
6. Mason Klein +03:33
7. Stefan Svitko +04:05
8. Adrien van Beveren +04:10
9. Toby Price +04:16
10. Joaquim Rodrigues +04:29

Results Cars

While the results of the neutralised stage for motorbikes and quads still have to come in, a large proportion of the cars have already crossed the finish line. Orlando Terranova won the stage with more than a minute ahead of Mattias Ekstrom. Yazeed Al Rajhi came in third. Meanwhile, Nasser Al-Attiyah has increased his lead on Sebastien Loeb by more than fifteen minutes, who lost his second place to Al-Rajhi.

The complete top ten of the cars:

1. Terranova 3.06.45
2. Ekstrom +1.06.
3. Al-Rajhi +1.49
4. Baragwanath +3.06
5. Roma +3.34
6. Variawa +4.06
7. Ten Brinke +4.06
8. Prokop +5.45
9. Han +5.58
10. Al-Attiyah +6.16

Results Quads

The sixth stage also ended early for the quads. They followed the same route as the motorcycles and therefore had to deal with the same deteriorated conditions. Also for the quads, the timings after 101 kilometers are used as the final result.

Aleksandr Maksimov crossed the finish line first. Alexandre Giroud has to settle for second place after his victory yesterday, but the gap is very small. Sebastien Souday completed the top three.

The complete top ten in the Quads is as follows:

Aleksandr Maksimov 1:10:10
Alexandre Giroud +00:09
Sebastien Souday +00:39
Marcelo Medeiros +00:54
Pablo Copetti +01:08
Kamil Wisniewski +04:21

Vincent Padrona +28:58
Alex Feliu +34:20
