Early drama in Dakar Rally, motorcyclist under the knife

Not even 30 kilometres into the Dakar Rally, a first retirement from the race has been confirmed. After falling from his motorcycle, Harith Noah has been transported to the hospital, where the Indian will have to go under the knife.

It is an oft-repeated slogan: in the prologue of the Dakar Rally there is nothing to win, but everything to lose. 

Harith Noah, last year's overall winner in the Rally 2 class on motorcycles, is listed as the first dropout.

Having fallen off his bike during the 29-kilometre prologue, the Indian rider has broken his wrist.

He has since been transported to the hospital, where surgery is necessary. Needless to say, the rally is over for him.
