The defending champion in the car category waved goodbye to the prospects of a third win after crossing the finish line of stage 3 a full 4 h 20 behind teammate Stéphane Peterhansel.

"The rally is over for us. We fell into a hole and broke the suspension. I'm sad and disappointed, but that's the way it is. This is what happens in the Dakar."
