The second-placed rider in the general classification is banking on the stages in Argentina to make up his deficit to Eduard Nikolayev.

"It was a tough stage. In the first part I had to help the other Iveco truck, which was stuck in the mud. I lost some time, but from then on we did a clean race. The cancellation of tomorrow's stage is bad news for us because we need to gain back time, but that's racing for you. We'll spend the next few days in Argentina, in parts of the country I'm much more familiar with. It's good to be home, and I hope to do well."
