Peterhansel on brink of Dakar win

Stephane Peterhansel is on the verge of a 10th Dakar Rally victory - and his fourth in the car category - after winning the penultimate stage of the 2012 event and stretching his overall lead to 42 minutes with just Sunday's short finale stage to go. With a 20-minute cushion despite getting stuck in sand dunes yesterday, Peterhansel had not intended to push hard on today's run from Nasca to Pisco, but ended up winning the stage almost by accident as all his nearest rivals bogged down in the tough terrain.
