Impressive sequence on the Dakar, Sunday in Saudi Arabia. During the first 333 km long stage around Ha'il, the Chilean biker Cesar Zumaran found himself at a standstill between two boulders. At the wheel of his Toyota, the South African Giniel de Villiers arrived from behind and collided with the South American, who fell to the ground with his two-wheeler. Not very far from being run over, Zumaran managed to get up after the reverse of De Villiers. If his "victim" indicated to him with his hand that he could go his way, the South African did not stop to ask him if he was okay when he saw Zumaran lying on the ground, visibly shocked. The latter was finally able to resume the race but the behavior of De Villiers is controversial.
