(Reuters) -Nine-times world rally champion Sebastien Loeb is out of the Dakar Rally after he rolled his Dacia in the Saudi desert on Tuesday as the race continued to take a toll of the big names after the exit of 2024 winner Carlos Sainz.
An inspection conducted by the FIA's technical stewards after stage three has led to Loeb being forbidden to continue because of damage to his car's roll bar.
