The Qatari driver improved his record of being the only driver to have won at least one stage on 18 consecutive editions of the Dakar. He has also climbed up into 4th place in the general rankings, 25 minutes behind South African Henk Lategan.

“It was a good day, even if we had a puncture. We lost lots of time yesterday, but it’s good to be back in the game. I will try to do my best. The Dakar is tough but the Dacia is robust and is doing a good job. There are surprises on each day, but I’m fairly happy. Next week, there will be many dunes, so we will see what will happen but for the moment I would just like to enjoy a good shower”.
