After 13 triumphs on the Dakar in 30 years, Stéphane Peterhansel has finished the 2018 edition in 4th place, which might be his last position…

“It was a crazy Dakar. We lost a lot of top drivers due to crashes. Some other top drivers lost a lot of time or it wasn’t possible for them to finish. For us, we made two big mistakes and lost a lot of time, with one problem just before Uyuni and one problem yesterday. So, I think if we check a little bit, we were stopped on the tracks for close to three hours to make repairs during this Dakar, so it was too much. But that’s the race for you… I don’t know for the future, I have no idea what will happen. Before the start I said I don't know if I will continue and at the end of this Dakar, it’s the same answer – I need to think about that".
