Stéphane Peterhansel no longer has any hope of winning this edition of the Dakar, so he is now entirely devoting himself to helping team-mate Carlos Sainz.

“Today we arrived at the end of the stage, I don’t know the classification, but the three Audis were all together. At the end it was normal. This morning, we started first, second and fourth. This morning also, after the start, I stopped for 6 minutes to wait for Carlos and I did all the stage behind him just in case of technical problems. For him it was not easy, because for the 200 km he opened the road and nobody did the navigation for him. I can imagine there is a lot of stress inside the cockpit”.
