BUENOS AIRES adidas yeezy suomi , Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah claimed his second Dakar Rally title after 9,000 gruelling kilometers concluded in Buenos Aires here on Saturday.


Al-Attiyah dominated the car category for entire two-week rally. The Mini driver won the first stage but was handed down a time penalty for speeding in the link section, but he took the overall lead at the end of the second stage again and kept it until the end with five stage wins in all.


Also as the Olympic bronze medal winner in skeet shooting at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Al-Attiyah eventually added to his career another Dakar Rally win after winning the most prestigious rally on Earth in 2011.


"I'm delighted I've won the Dakar! It's fantastic because we've dominated the race from the beginning and were able to control the rally throughout. I've got lots of people to thank for this," said Al-Attiyah.


"I came to the Dakar in top-notch form adidas pure boost suomi , both physically and mentally. Then, we managed to do our job day after day. It's fantastic. Now I want to win even more."


Al-Attiyah finished sixth in the 13th stage from Rosario to Buenos Aires which was shortened to only 34 kilometres due to heavy rain.


With a healthy overall lead set in the previous stages, Al-Attiyah is eventually 35 minutes and 34 seconds ahead of second-placed South African Ginel de Villiers, who drives for Toyota, in the overall standings. Another Mini driver Krzysztof Holowczyc of Poland finished third.


Thirty-eight-year-old Spaniard Marc Coma claimed the title in the motorcycle competition. It was the fifth time that he has won the Dakar Rally.


During the 13-day tough event adidas nmd human race suomi , only 216 competitors (79 motorcycles, 18 quads, 68 cars and 51 trucks) out of the 420, which started the rally, managed to finish the 2015 Dakar Rally.


Polish motorbike rider Michal Hernik was found dead in the third stage at some 300 meters from the desert track without his helmet and with no apparent injury and no damage to his motorbike that would indicate an accident.


His was the fifth death since the rally was moved to South America in 2009 over security concerns in the Sahara region and the 24th since the race was created in 1979.

U.S. lawmakers approved legislation key to securing a hallmark Pacific trade deal by a comfortable margin on Wednesday, advancing President Barack Obama's efforts to strengthen U.S. economic ties with Asia.


After a six-week congressional battle including two brushes with failure, some fancy legislative footwork and myriad backroom deals to keep the legislation alive, the Senate voted 60 to 38 to grant Obama the power to negotiate trade deals and send them on a fast track through Congress. The bill next goes to Obama for his signature.


Final passage could push the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a central part of Obama's foreign policy pivot to Asia adidas nmd city sock suomi , over the finish line and also boost hopes that an ambitious trade deal with the European Union could soon be completed.


The Senate also passed a separate bill providing aid to workers who lose their jobs because of trade.


The TPP, potentially a legacy-defining achievement for Obama, would be the biggest free trade agreement in a generation and rank with China's ascension to the world trade stage and the North American Free Trade Agreement liberalizing trade between the United States, Canada and Mexico.


But TPP ministers still have tricky issues to resolve, ranging from monopoly periods for next-generation medicines to the treatment of state-owned enterprises.


Some member countries adidas nmd r2 suomi , including Japan and Canada, want to have fast-track in place before making final offers on the trade deal, which would cover 40 percent of the world economy and raise annual global economic output by nearly $300 billion.


Negotiators say a deal on the TPP could be wrapped up within weeks once countries are sure Congress will not pick the deal apart, which fast-track prevents.


"We are optimistic that (fast-track) will lead the way for many new market-opening agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership adidas nmd r1 suomi ,” said Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) Chief Executive Doug Oberhelman.


WORKER AID BILL


Senators showed slightly less support than in an initial vote a month ago for fast-track, which would let lawmakers set negotiating goals for trade deals but restrict them to yes-or-no votes on final agreements.


Fast-track authority lasts for up to six years and would extend to any trade deals negotiated by Obama's successor, who would take office in January 2017.


The vote came as Congress was trying to finish up the four parts of the trade legislation package and send them to Obama: fast-track negotiating authority, aid for workers who lose their jobs as a result of trade, an Africa trade preferences bill and a customs enforcement measure.


Fast-track was forced back to the Senate floor after a revolt by Democrats in the House of Representatives resulted in it being split from a companion worker aid measure.


That bill received unanimous approval and now returns to the House adidas nmd xr4 suomi , where many Democrats who previously opposed the aid program now plan to support it. Their initial opposition was part of a ploy that failed to derail fast-track legislation.


The top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, Sander Levin, said he expects the "vast majority" of Democrats to vote "yes." That would allow both measures to go to Obama for approval this week, before lawmakers go on a week-long break.


The bruising congressional battle has pitted Obama against many in his own party, including House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi adidas nmd xr1 suomi , and prompted blood-letting among Republicans after party leaders lashed out at conservatives who refused to .
