Description

The bikers and quad riders took the shortest route from Riyadh to Al Duwadimi, a road section nearly 500 kilometres long, with no rain this time round. Meanwhile, a bit further south, the car and truck drivers went head to head in a special tailored to the masters of trajectories and changes of pace. The wily desert foxes came out on top on a course that alternated from sand to stones and from canyons to wadis. For once, the co-drivers were left with the burden of solving the navigation conundrum from scratch, without the clues left by the bikers. The scenario played into the hands of the lightning-fast Yazeed Al Rajhi, who posted the fastest time after starting from far back.
