Dakar winner Sainct killed in crash
Dakar winner Sainct killed in crash
Three-time Paris-Dakar rally winner Richard Sainct was killed in a crash in the Pharaohs Rally in Egypt on Wednesday, the French motorcycle federation said. "I can confirm only that Richard died. We don't have any more details," an FFM spokesman said. Sainct, who rode for KTM, won the Paris-Dakar rally in 1999, 2000 and 2003. The 34-year-old crashed twice in the fourth stage of the Pharaohs Rally on Wednesday and the second accident was fatal, according to media reports. His KTM team withdrew from the race after his death. |

I just read this on Norwegian teletext, and I am shocked. This is incredibly sad news. I always watch the Dakar, so I have watched Richard Sainct in action for years. He was a very very nice guy, and for this to happen to him is just awful.
Richard Sainct's death has made this day an extremely sad day for our sport. RIP Richard. You were a brilliant rider. I hope you keep riding where you are now. |
