'An enormous triumph," amputee Baumel wins Dakar Rally first stage

Navigator Baumel was back at the race just 11 months after his right lower leg was amputated after being run over while helping someone who had broken down on the road in France. Last January it had looked as if life behind the wheel was in the past for the successful co-driver and navigator. "Just being here is an enormous triumph," said the 49-year-old, who got into his car on Sunday carrying his prosthetic limb. Driving a mini the pair won the perilous 305km first stage at Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
