De Mevius and Brabec take Dakar sixth stage honours

Defending motorcycle champion Ricky Brabec took the honours on two wheels, the Honda rider coming in ahead of Adrien Van Beveren and Jose Ignacio Cornejo after the 605km special from Hail to Al Duwadimi. It was a good day for the Mini team with De Mevius followed home by his Portuguese teammate Joao Ferreira, with five-time champion Nasser Al-Attiyah in third. "We had a good stage, finally! Our goal was to claw back some time and pick up points for the championship, so we gave it everything we had," said De Mevius.
