The Dutch driver claimed the stage to Fiambalá and moved closer to Nasser Al-Attiyah. His Qatari teammate held onto the bottom step of the podium.

"It feels really good. From the beginning till now, the cooperation with Toyota and Michel was exceptional. So far, okay, it's my best Dakar... but we must finish. I don't want to think about the podium now, I don't want to have pressure. I want to enjoy winning this stage. I've worked with very talented co-drivers in the Dakar, such as Matthieu Baumel and Tom Colsoul, but I think that thanks to his experience Michel Périn does a great job."
