Thrirteenth today, a tad under 20 minutes down, Ross Branch joined Ricky Brabec and Skyler Howes as one of the three big losers of the day.

"It was a bit disappointing, it was a good day until the last 20 km and we made a big, big mistake and I guess that's rally, so let's see what happens tomorrow. This is a really tough Dakar so we'll just have to see how it goes, tomorrow we'll probably start a bit further back than I'd like but it's racing and let's see how we can fix it tomorrow. My tyre's fine, bike's fine, I'm good, so yeah, should be happy but really annoyed that I made such a stupid mistake at the end and during the stage I made also one mistake so we'll see what happens. We needed to make it happen today, today was the last day to make a big difference and we didn't do that but it is what it is let's see what we can do next week."
