Putting in a convincing stage five performance, Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team's Adrien Van Beveren remains at the top of the 2018 Dakar Rally's provisional overall standings. Living up to the challenges of yet another demanding stage in the dunes of Peru, his team partner Xavier de Soultrait is fifth overall and within striking distance to the top of the provisional leader board. Following their 1-2 result from yesterday's stage four, the duo of Yamalube Yamaha Official Rally Team partners Van Beveren and de Soultrait were the first to start Wednesday's timed special. Opening the tracks from start to finish, the two WR450F Rally powered riders rode together until the finish of the 266km-long special.
