Daniel Sanders has followed up his stunning motorcycling victory at the Dakar Rally with another triumph in the desert that is propelling him towards becoming a world champion.
The Australian endurance rider, known within the biking world as 'Chucky', sealed victory in the week-long Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge on Thursday less than six weeks since his landmark Dakar triumph over the dunes of Saudi Arabia.
The Abu Dhabi race was the second in the season-long, five-race World Rally-Raid Championship and Sanders' triumph, featuring two stage wins, was as convincing as it had been in the Dakar, where he became only the second Australian winner.
