Dakar Rally legend Stephane Peterhansel proved too strong for his Peugeot teammates Carlos Sainz and Sebastien Loeb in Friday's sixth stage around the largest salt flats in the world in Bolivia. Success for the veteran Frenchman powered him into the overall lead to give him a massive boost in his quest for a 12th success in motorsport's toughest challenge. The 50-year-old from Alsace lined up for the 542 kilometre timed run in Uyuni, the longest stage of the rally, eight minutes adrift of nine-time world rally champion Loeb. But already the winner of Wednesday's fourth stage he now goes into Saturday's drive from Uyuni to Salta in Argentina at the head of the pack. He leads Dakar debutant Loeb by 27sec with Sainz in third at 5min 55sec.
