The Hungarian duo, who repeated the best result of his career, finished Thursday's 22nd place in 22nd place.
"I stood for this stage with a very big drill, but the organizers were lively, enjoyable, well-trained, right, we had to dig it once," quoted the Opel Dakar Team's report, Salal. “That's why we've been struggling to reach this goal, and that's why we are in the twentieth position, which I am very pleased. Although we have been twenties, the competition is more difficult every year, the field is denser, more and more factory cars are rented and more and more good and routine riders are getting. ”
According to Bunkoczi, his navigator was also a very "cool" section. “I've counted down the last kilometers, and I was cheering, now we shouldn't have any trouble. The twentieth place is a decent result, we've set our best, although maybe in 2012 it was a bit easier to get this place than now. ”

The first Australian Toby Price runner-up in the final stage was just over ten minutes ahead of the defending champion, Austrian Matthias Walkner. Price won Dakar for the second time.
