For two days the Dakar Rally crews have now been without their mechanics or any other help from the outside. On the schedule is the marathon stage, in which the crews have only themselves to rely on. Moreover, the 4th stage took the competitors to the mountains, over three thousand metres of altitude and higher. However, Pascal de Baar gave an excellent performance, losing only 14 minutes on the winner de Rooy and finishing on 14th place.
