Gordon moves up a spot after winning fourth stage

SANTIAGO, Chile -- Stephane Peterhansel has kept his overall lead in the Dakar Rally, driving his BMW to second place in Tuesday's fourth stage -- just one second behind stage winner Robby Gordon of the United States who completed the stage in 1 hour, 40 minutes, 21 seconds.

Win the win Tuesday, Gordon moves up a spot in overall standings to eighth place.

"Here's a stage we thought we were going to be good and we were -- we went out and won," Gordon said. "Now we're still an hour behind overall and had our bogey [Monday], we just have to be strong from here on out and I feel that we can carry it through starting with [Wednesday]."

Qatari driver Nasser Al-Attiyah finished third in the leg, which entered Chile from Argentina through a pass in the Andes.

Peterhansel, a Frenchman who has won the Dakar nine times, was 7 minutes ahead of Spaniard Carlos Sainz of Volkswagen in the overall standings, and 10 minutes ahead of Al-Attiyah -- also in a VW.

In the bikes category, Spain's Marc Coma won the stage on a KTM, two minutes ahead of David Casteu of France on a Sherco and 3:14 ahead of overall leader Cyril Despres on a KTM.
