Frenchman Loeb and his co-driver Fabian Lurquin were uninjured in the incident after twelve kilometers and resumed the race after a lengthy repair. The entire rear fairing was torn off. However, they stopped again after 63 kilometers and eventually finished the shortened stage one hour and 14 minutes behind Toyota driver Lategan.
An inspection carried out by the FIA technical commissioners resulted in Loeb being banned from continuing due to damage to his car's roll bar.
Austrian Ebster in tenth place
In the motorcycle category, Spanish Sherco rider Lorenzo Santolino took his first stage win. Australian Daniel Sanders (KTM) retained the overall lead, one minute and 57 seconds ahead of US rider Skyler Howes (Honda). Austrian Tobias Ebster finished tenth on his KTM and is 14th overall.
