The KTM Australian biker finished third today and remains the best Dakar rookie in the provisional classification, 14th overall 14 minutes behind De Soultrait.

"It was a good day, today, for me. I started off strong. I tried to concentrate on the roadbook as much as I could, and then I had a really good crash in the dunes. I made sure I didn't injure my shoulder again, from a few weeks ago, when I dislocated it. It was good to finish strong, only a couple little mistakes. At the end there were some rocky canyons. I think it went pretty well, even though I must have lost a minute looking for a waypoint near the finish."
