The two drivers stopped for a long time at km 133 to help Pablo Quintanilla (Honda), who suffered a fall and had to abandon after injuring his shoulder. Once they set off again, they showed a pace similar to the best, while they were assured of seeing the time lost during their stop credited back at the end of the stage. Having reached the end of the stage with a disbursement of almost 30 minutes on Schareina, they had in fact driven faster than the Spaniard, as an examination of their GPS revealed. “I had to spend half an hour with Pablo, a raconté Van Beveren. I ran straight away, it always touches you when you see a driver on the ground, especially since we have a special relationship. After the accident, I took a breath, took it upon myself to be efficient and concentrate on navigation. The tracks helped but there was a lot of dust. But in all of this, the most important thing is health. »
