The KTM biker finished in the top 3 of the penultimate stage and moved up to seventh place overall… just 5 minutes behind Barreda in fifth place.

"It was a really nice stage today. It was the first time that we crossed the big dunes, so at the beginning I enjoyed it a lot. After that, I was a little bit scared about the fuel in my bike, so I slowed down a bit before the refuelling. After refuelling I caught the group in front and just stayed there. I'm really happy because there's only one more day to go. To be inside the top 5 would be nice, I'm really close. We'll see tomorrow."
