Die Landung
Seit der fünften Etappe hatte Syker Howes die Führung der Dakar 2023 inne, auf Etappe 10 verlor der Husqvarna-Werkspilot diese an Kevin Benavides (Red Bull KTM). Der US-Amerikaner hielt den Schaden aber im Rahmen: Als Dritter auf die 114 km lange Wertungsprüfung gestartet, büßte er zwar auf Etappensieger Ross Branch (Hero) fast 8 min ein, doch in der Gesamtwertung liegt er nur 1:29 min hinter dem Argentinier zurück.
«Der heutige Tag bestand komplett aus Dünen. Wir fuhren in zwei winzige Täler, um Kontrollpunkte zu bestätigen, aber ansonsten waren es wirklich nur technische Dünen», erzählte Howes im Ziel. «Eine kurze Etappe, aber trotzdem anspruchsvoll. Die Zeiten werden sehr eng beieinander liegen. Ich wollte einfach nur diese Etappe überstehen und mich auf die Marathon-Etappe vorbereiten. Auf kurzen Etappen wie dieser kann man etwas verlieren, man muss sie aber auch nicht zwingend gewinnen.»
Unerwähnt lässt der Husqvarna-Pilot einen Sturz auf der Etappe. Als aus einem Hubschrauber die Kamera auf ihn gerichtet war, hat sich der 30-Jährige zu einer Show-Einlage hinreissen lassen. Er sprang über eine Düne und hob in der Luft die Beine von den Rasten. Mit zu wenig Schwung versanken die Räder aber bei der Landung im Sand und Howes stürzte.
