The fourth stage inside of Mauritania’s boundaries was won by a relative unknown. Janis Vinters put his KTM 660 at the top of today’s leaderboard and scored the first special test victory for his country of Latvia by covering the 494 km of terrain 7’31 ahead of Gauloises KTM’s Cyril Despres. Vinters finished as far down as 161st on Stage 2, but today was his third time visiting the top-10. It is, however, the first time he’s landed inside that marker for the overall standings. Now in eighth, Vinters will have the honor of leaving first tomorrow morning for a loop course that begins and ends in Nema.
