Moraes opened his account in this Dakar with the second win of his career. Toyota have taken 7 out of 8 stages since the start. The Brazilian is far from the top spots, but he is chasing stage points for the W2RC.  

"Yeah, to be honest, since we started so far behind, we were lucky because we definitely got all the tracks for us. So yeah, we didn't have nothing to lose today, so we pushed a lot. And nice to win one more stage in the Dakar. These things are really hard to get, so happy to score some points for the championship as well. And got to keep fighting. I think now it's going to be, maybe tomorrow it's going to be just like this one today and then we're going to start reaching the Empty Quarter. And there will be some strategy of course playing to not open the bigger one that we have there. But otherwise, so far so good and happy with the win."
