The Spanish rider, who finished second last year, had remained discreet until now but was lying in wait. By winning today's stage in AlUla, the third of his career in the Dakar, he has climbed onto the provisional podium, which is still dominated by Sanders.

“There were many rocks again. The navigation was really, really tricky but I tried to push. The strategy for today was to win and we did it but it’s just the beginning. We’ll start tomorrow in front, so we’ll see. Always on the marathon we have to take care with the tyres, with the machine and with ourselves and we will do. I think I have a good position and I’ll try to open all day and that’s my goal. It’s just the third day, anything can happen, but we are there in the Batlle and it’s good to see that”.
