Today, the Dutch driver, participating in his 14th Dakar Rally, won his fourth special stage.

“Today we took first place, which is great work. We had a good pace. It was a bumpy stage, quite bad for the trucks, but everything went well. We really pushed hard at the end. I think we were already the fastest yesterday, but we had technical problems and lost time. It's good that we were able to show what we can do”.
