Despite losing a ton of time on Stage 3, plus having a 1-hour penalty tacked on for an engine swap when he finally made it back to the bivouac, Mason Klein continues to fight on in the 2024 Dakar Rally. Say what you want about the bike, there is no quit in Klein and he starts the next stage looking like a champ rather than a guy who had just lost 6 hours on the leaders:
P-17 MASON KLEIN (USA) KORR OFFROAD RACING. + 06H 30' 31''
Of course the keyboard warriors are blowing up social media with their expert opinions and thoughtful analysis, but we will keep tracking Klein, and the other Americans, until the end or withdrawal comes. Much bigger brands have already had to withdraw because of technical difficulties in what is shipping up to be one of the toughest Dakars in recent memory.
