The Spaniard, leading the general standings this morning, made big losses due to a navigational error at the end of the special.

“It was a little bit confusing opening the track with the lines of yesterday. Finally, I didn’t find a way-point and I had to go back for 15 kilometres to the way point before, and go back almost 30 kilometres more. I lost a lot of time, but it is like that sometimes when you open. It is dangerous and today I made a big mistake before the finish of the stage. I cannot make any more mistakes. We will see, but for sure it is not easy to recover this time. It's a lot of time, but the Dakar is still long".
