Sixteenth in the Ultimate special at over 9 minutes, Carlos Sainz will start the "48H Chrono" at the back of the field, as will Stéphane Peterhansel, who finished 14 seconds behind him.

"We stopped for a while. I don't know whether it was the right strategy, we'll see in two days, but we didn't want to be at the front."
