00:00 It was a funny idea, but I'm very happy because it really brought something to the rally.
00:07 A constructive novelty in the sense of discovery, adventure, the human aspect of the evening, the bivouacs.
00:14 Beyond the sport, it was further and that's really what we were looking for.
00:18 Beyond the 48 hours, the principle of flying two days straight like that,
00:23 there was also the fact that we were in the MT Quarter and that we were in extremely difficult mountains.
00:28 So when we focus on the sport part, the difficulty,
00:32 it created movement, it also created turmoil in the rankings.
00:35 There were a lot of abandonment, but that's also what Dakar is about.
00:38 We had to get through this challenge to be able to breathe a real ranking.
00:41 And today, everyone who has succeeded in this stage can be very, very proud of them.
00:45 To redo, to improve, I already have it here.
00:48 Dakar is not over, I will say it and I will say it again tonight at the briefing,
00:54 because there is still a big week.
00:56 So it will alternate, we will have a slightly difficult stage, a easier one, a difficult one,
01:00 but there is no purely easy stage on Dakar.
01:03 So you have to stay very focused.
01:05 They have crossed a cape, those who are there can say to themselves,
01:08 we are off well, but we have to stay focused, focused.
01:11 Dakar is not over.
01:13 We are off well.
01:15 Dakar is not over.
