The four-time Dakar champion was second on the day and sits in third place in the general standings, led by his teammate, title holder Dmitry Sotnikov.
"Today was a difficult stage, with plenty of navigation challenges and very high dunes. My crew did a sterling job. The Kamaz truck just hoovers up the dunes. In the end, I was second today because Sotnikov won. The team's trucks waged an epic battle throughout the day."
