Red Bull KTM Factory rider Toby Price has crashed after 155 km and has injured his left arm and shoulder. It’s a major blow for the Australian who was only one minute behind Nacho Cornejo in the general standings. Indeed, the Spaniard has moved back into the lead on the stage, after 157 km. Price has been taken to hospital in Tabuk for X-rays and has therefore been forced to exit the race prematurely due to his accident.

Luciano Benavides, who was in third place after 239 km, has also crashed after 242 km. The Argentinean has injured his shoulder and has been airlifted by helicopter to the hospital in Tabuk.

Price had soldiered on the previous day due to his back tyre, that was badly damaged the day prior, as seen in the video below.
