Sherco's Portuguese rider finished on the podium of a Dakar stage for the first time in his career.

"It was a long stage where you needed to stay focused and avoid mistakes. It went pretty well, I stayed positive throughout the stage. At first, I rode alongside Barreda and, after that, I spent most of the time with Quintanilla. They're good companions, not least because I can learn a lot from them in my second Dakar."
