Nasser Al-Atiyah today opened the stage in the desert between Ha'il and Al Qaisumah. This slowed him down a bit, as did the flat tire at the end of the stage, but Nasser continued until the final without changing it.

The third position in the general is for (ARG) LUCIO ALVAREZ (ESP) ARMAND MONLEON (OVERDRIVE TOYOTA), but with a pretty big difference of 40:53 minutes.
The first 4 positions in the trucks are occupied by Kamaz led by OVERDRIVE TOYOTA.
In motorcycles, the first stage victory for (ESP) JOAN BARREDA BORT (MONSTER ENERGY HONDA), which overtook the competition by more than 5 minutes.
At the top of the overall standings is (GBR) SAM SUNDERLAND (GASGAS FACTORY RACING), second is (FRA) ADRIEN VAN BEVEREN MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA RALLY TEAM at 2:51 minutes.
The four-wheelers are led by (LTU) LAISVYDAS KANCIUS (STORY RACING S.R.O.), second is (USA) PABLO COPETTI (DEL AMO MOTORSPORTS / YAMAHA RALLY TEAM) in 3:32 minutes.
