Connection 294km | Special Stage 441km | Total 735km
COURSE OVERVIEW

So it will only be once this stubborn fog has lifted that the first motorcyclists will set off to tackle the last dunes of the rally. The sandy part, where an attack is still feasible, represents a third of the special stage. To discover the end of the stage, the competitors will have to head south, on wide tracks which can nevertheless conceal stones which can shatter dreams. When they reach La Serena where the rally’s last bivouac will be situated, they will be awarded highly prized additional points.

Another stage another WIN. Great job Team Speed!
He went back to run with Peterhansel in case of trouble most likely
I would say so. They are running on safety mode at the moment.
does that qaulify as a 'real' stage win?
He needs an Overall win for that to happen. Needs to make changes so that CAN happen.
Conjecture if "politics" beat him last year. Many Stage wins not a few is a good basis for winning the Dakar.
Consistent good performance is the real basis for winning. Peterhansel has proven you don't have to win stages to dominate. (but there's nothing wrong with winning them!)
Please, for the love of God, don't bother with this miller...
