 There looks like being a fierce struggle for the title among the lightweight vehicles. Gerard Farrés, second on today’s special, completes the provisional podium in the general standings, only one minute behind Francisco “Chaleco” Lopez.

“The start of the special was difficult for me, driving in the dunes. But then every time it got better, but of course today I'm happy for Armand because, well, how was the navigation today, Armand? – Yeah, today we started with really tricky navigation. We started with dunes that we didn't really expect and they didn't cheat us: they said it was going to be a difficult road-book with difficult navigation, and it is what it is. – It was difficult at the end of the special. We had a little problem with the heat and so we went a bit slower to the end and I’m happy with this result. – As he said, we started to overheat a little bit, but of course it's normal, but this machine works really well on the dunes and we did not get stuck”.
