Sainz wins Dakar Stage 12

Al Attiyah maintains overall lead

Carlos Sainz: "It went well. This victory is a small consolation. We drove well. We had to overtake a lot of competitors. There was a lot of dust and we had a puncture. But the main thing is that we finished the day and Stéphane Peterhansel didn't get any closer to us. This 23rd stage victory is a good thing, but it wasn't our goal. Peterhansel has 23 as well, so we'll have to see who can get the record tomorrow".

Nasser Al Attiyah: "It's a very difficult feeling, you know because you need a lot of concentration from the start until the finish. You don't want to make any mistakes. It really was the hardest stage of my life, because I had to keep concentrated and not make any mistakes. Sometimes I was going fast, sometimes slow because I needed to keep my concentration and keep the same pace, but it was ok. We finished the stage without any problems and I'm really quite happy. The stage was really very well organised, since we didn't have any problems on the stage with the spectators. It was really fantastic".
