Le pilote sud-africain a gagné sur cette avant-dernière étape sa place sur le podium… The South African has gained a place on the overall podium on completion of the penultimate stage.

“It was a very tough day again, with a first part in the fesh-fesh, where we got stuck when I avoided a biker who had crashed. Our engine wasn’t working as well after that and it was very hard work. This stage was like survival. Physically, mentally and even for the car, it was an unbelievable stage. I haven’t seen a Dakar this crazy for a long time. It’s certainly one of the hardest since we have been in South America”.
