Gordon blijft toch een echte Amerikaan. Hij zegt dat hij misschien de etappe van vandaag had kunnen winnen als hij hard gepusht had, maar dat ging omwille van teamorders.
Quote:
"Now, we are driving for the team, because Jutta could still climb on the podium in Dakar, and that's really important for Volkswagen. I have to help her, so I followed her all day. She was stuck behind a dune, so I stopped to help her dig and restart. Then, with all the dust, I stopped to have a better visibility. Then we spent 5 minutes with Gregoire De Mevius who was seriously bleeding on the face. Without all of this, I'm sure I could have caught the Mitsubishi for stage victory, but I had to work for the team, so I stayed with Jutta on the track. Apart from that it was a hard stage, with lots of soft sand and camel grass."
In de Franse versie staat dat hij 2 keer een sanitaire stop maakte om Kleinschmidt wat te laten uitlopen en minder last te hebben van het stof dat zij produceerde
