Sunderland, AVB pull out of Dakar
Print Edition
British motorcyclist Sam Sunderland abandoned his Dakar Rally title defense on Tuesday due to back pain, and Portuguese soccer coach Andre Villas-Boas was taken to a hospital after his car crashed against a sand dune.
Rally organizers said Sunderland, the overall leader on a KTM, withdrew near the end of the 330-kilometer special around San Juan de Marcona when he was hurt after a jump. Adrien van Beveren of France won the fourth stage in about four hours. He also moved into the overall lead, taking a 1:55 advantage over Pablo Quintanilla of Chile.
In the car race, the 40-year-old Villas-Boas was in 43rd position for Toyota. The former Chelsea and Tottenham coach jolted his back after his car went airborne off a sand dune and made a hard landing, Toyota said in a statement.
