Nasser
“We tried to push, you know, but we cannot, because the Peugeots are going really fast and every day we lose four or eight minutes. But what can we do? We're just trying to save our positon. It's a very bad feeling, but we know that their buggy is fast. We'll see - we have how many days left? We'll try and finish in the top three. There are no better stages for the 4x4, because their buggy is going really well everywhere, on rally tracks and off-road”.

Peterhansel
“It was a good day to day. I saw nobody today, just sometimes I saw dust. I did see Seb at the last 20 kilometres before the end. He had a puncture and I overtook him, but during all the day I was alone, trying to be completely focused on the track, because it was a really long stage. Since the beginning we've only had stages with tracks. There have been no dunes and no soft sand, so a lot of things can still happen and the car is still young, so we will see”.

Some little info from our media. Prokop crashed again yesterday, this time his car ended on the side next to the road and several by-standing soldiers were unable to get it back on the wheels. Some team colleague later pulled the car back. Kolomý had a health problem with an inflamed ear, after the leg he had to undergo a small surgery. According to Macík yesterday's stage was too boring for trucks except for first rough part the second half was all the time on speed limiter...

Several big moments in the video! When they hit the big drop in the stage they complain on the onboard that it's marked wrong in the itinerary.

Loeb already 1min ahead of Peterhansel after wp1.

Today the crews pass the border from Bolivia to Argentina so the special stage has 2 timed sections with a road section between.
