Brock Heger picked up his second SSV trophy in a row. Polaris staved off the onslaught of the Can-Ams, but they are likely to pose an even greater challenge next year. The American, all of whose Dakar victories have been crowned with victory, is as cool as a cucumber.

"Our goal was to win and we did it. I loved the Dakar, I had a blast with Xavier and my other teammates. We're an American crew, it's an American brand. It's a huge win and I can't wait to come back next year and try to do it again. It's a brutal race that can stop at any moment, especially in navigation where you can get lost very quickly. Max and I focused on being in the right place every day, which meant we could ease off towards the end. I'm really happy to be here once again."
