Eight years after his first victory on the Dakar, “El Matador” has won again to complete a series of three consecutive victories for Peugeot.

“I’m so, so happy, after four years when we joined forces with Peugeot to make a dual-drive winning car. We managed to do it. They’ve already won two times, but I think I deserved this victory because we have put lot of effort into this car. I had ups and downs, but I always tried my best. Especially this rally, it has been so, so hard. At the beginning I said we'll take it a little bit easier, but Peugeot said we'd have to go flat out. I raced a couple of days and pushed really hard, but then the race was a case of not making mistakes. I don’t know if I’ll be back next year. Now I have to enjoy this victory, go back home, speak with my wife, with my family and then we will see. Also, Peugeot won't be here next year so we will see”.
