Barring any last-minute surprises, the overall leader will stand on the top step of the Dakar podium for the third time tomorrow after taking his 34th stage win today.

"We saw Sébastien and I didn't know about 'Peter', we just got the information on the finish line. I hope he's okay. Today was very difficult, not easy, with a lot of soft sand, but we took it easy and did a good job. I'm quite happy.

Yeah, until now everything has gone very well and tomorrow we just need to bring everything [together] in Lima. I'm quite happy. We always try to do our best because it's not easy. The Dakar is really difficult. Every day we work very hard to be fast and not make mistakes. Me and Mathieu, the team, work very hard every day to keep our car fit every day. The car is good, the buggy is a good car. We've followed our strategy from the beginning. We've been leading since stage 3 and building up the [gap] every day, we're quite happy."
