Yazeed Al-Rajhi (Mini) finished fourth today, 12'50" behind Stéphane Peterhansel —good enough to catapult him to second place overall, less than seven minutes down on new leader Nasser Al-Attiyah (Toyota).

 "We got lost two times and, afterwards, we planned to attack. This is how I ended up hitting a rock. I thought it was game over. But it wasn't. It was just a puncture on the rear left wheel. We pushed onwards with a close an eye on the car. In the end, it was a good stage."
