Traditionally the final stage at the Lac Rose does not affect the overall ranking of the AFRICA ECO RACE®, as it is frozen right after the stage entering Senegal. Having said this, these last 22km in between the fishing village of Kayar and the Lac Rose is an opportunity for some to have fun or to shine one last time in front of their family and friends gathered around the finishing arch.

7 SPECIAL STAGE : CHAMI / AZOUGI : 414 km

8 SPECIAL STAGE : CHINGUETTI / AMATI : 377 km

9 SPECIAL STAGE : AOUT / AKJOUJT : 445 km

10 SPECIAL STAGE : AKJOUJT / AKJOUJT : 379 km

11 SPECIAL STAGE : AKJOUJT / FIMLIT : 208 km

12 SPECIAL STAGE : KAYAR / LAC ROSE : 24 km

In the Bikes, Pal Anders ULLEVALSETER did not give up the opportunity to win yet another stage, giving him some more prize money, which the Norwegian will donate to the Fabrizio MEONI school here in DAKAR. The Viking finishes not far in from of the local boy Julien SANCHEZ, who manages to sign his best stage finishing position of the whole rally here at home in from of his many fans who came over from the neighboring holiday town of Sali. As for the third position it goes to Nobert DUBOIS, which is a sort of sign of relief of his goof performance compared to the stage when he abandoned his bike in the dunes because of a mechanical problem when he was 2nd in the overall ranking of the rally.
