Rattled and under pressure from Eryk Goczał, Rokas Baciuška clings to the lead. The Lithuanian, second in stage 13, lost more than 4 minutes to his opponent on the last dunes but remained in control of the rally.

"It was tough today… The sand was soft and with the sun high in the sky I had trouble reading the terrain. But we survived one more day… Monti did a good job, the pace was decent… We had to attack with a margin of safety… There's now one day left and we'll have to leave everything on the track…"
