Seth Quintero won his second stage on the Dakar in the Ultimate class this week and also achieved his third podium stage finish. The American is ninth in the general rankings, one and half hours from the leader and has had to deal with the consequences of two days in which halts prevented him from featuring better.

“The first day of the marathon stage wasn’t good for us with 3 punctures. On those rocks, it’s a lottery and we didn’t get lucky. The first week was pretty good for us, with a victory at the start and two second places, but on the other hand, we also lost 40 minutes on the 48 Chrono stage and with the punctures yesterday. All in all, it’s not too bad. Now, for us it will be upwards and onwards”.
