“It was quite a difficult stage today with the weather conditions not good for riding. It was a fast stage and we passed a lot of tracks from before which were completely destroyed. The sandstorm in the desert was terrible and made it difficult to see anything beyond the bike, making the navigation really tricky. Just before the finish, Michael Metge ran out of fuel so I tried to push his bike to the finish line. I am so happy to cross the finish today and with how the bike performed as well. We’ll see how it goes from here.”
