    Vladimir Vasilyev (RUS – Mini): “Everything was ok today, we kept our own rithm until the end. We didn’t do any mistake and we drove at a good speed. It was a little bit difficult from the navigation point of view, but we didn’t do any mistake. We didn’t saw Nasser along the way, but we felt that he was not too far from us.”
    Nasser Al Attiyah (QAT – Mini): “It was very hard to navigate today, but everything went well. We catched Yazeed at km 65 and we went together until CP2, but then we decided to push and we left him behind. The result is good because we are first in overall and it’s also good that we don’t have to start first tomorrow.”

    Adam Malysz (POL – Mini): “It was a good stage. We made a small mistake after 5 km from the start, we went on a parallel track but we did not loose too much time to find the right way. Vasilyev reached us about at km 180 and then we drove together. We are globally very satisfied with today’s stage.”
    Yazeed Al Rajhi (SAU – Toyota): “At the beginning we were pushing at the limit, but not enough, because Nasser reached us. Around km 240 we got stuck in a ditch between two dunes and it was difficult to get out the car. It took more than five minutes. Actual Nasser’s advantage is not so big, so we will keep on pushing.“

    Mohammed Al Balooshi (ARE – KTM): “I choose the 6th starting position and it was paying. I reached Salvatierra at km 80. As I said yesterday it’s very important to build up the race: this is just the second day and it’s a long and hard rally.”
    Jakub Piatek (POL – KTM): “For me everything is new and at every race I have to learn a lot. I rode with Balooshi and Salvatierra and we arrived together at the finish. I like a lot this desert, very fast tracks, the dunes are nice and you can really enjoy the ride. I did not expect to be so fast, because Salvatierra and Balooshi have much more experience. Here we are at the same level and for me it’s a great experience.”

    Juan Carlos Salvatierra (BOL – KTM): “Yesterday I opened the track until the other riders caught me. I finished third and this made my life hard, because I can only choose the fourth position in the starting order of the next day. While the other riders start back and they can reach me. With this regulation it’s very complicated for me to win the race, but I will fight until the end.”

    Rafal Sonik (POL – Yamaha): “At the end the stage was ok, but at the beginning I had some problems. After three km the road-book took me on a pist, while the others took another and they caught me. At the CP1 I had some electrical problems and I had some difficulties to turn the engine on. But I kept calm because I knew that the dunes were approaching and I rode very well. After the penalization of Abu Issa I’m leading the race, let’s see which strategy we will do.”
