Sebastian Buhler benefitted from the rains and managed to catch up with other riders in the absence of dust

Stage 4 saw the rain gods being rather generous, which did make the terrain a bit tricky. Nevertheless, it also meant Buhler wasn't disturbed by dust and managed to catch up with the riders.

Joaquim Rodrigues, Rider, Hero MotoSports, said, "Today was a better stage for me, it felt more like a Dakar stage. A lot of sandy and technical tracks, they were fast, but not like the last few days, so I was more comfortable. We got a lot of rain today, so I had to be careful at some slippery spots. It was a good stage for me overall, and we have got just one more to go."

Franco Caimi, Rider, Hero MotoSports, said, "Today was not a very easy stage with different conditions and terrain, made worse by the rain the entire day. I am not completely used to riding the bike in the sand, but I had fun. Overall, it was a nice stage and I'm looking forward to bringing the rally to a close tomorrow."

Sebastian Buhler, Rider, Hero MotoSports, said, "Today was a hard stage because we had a lot of rain throughout. Still, it was nice to be able to ride close to the other riders without having to worry about the dust. So, it was a very different stage, but I enjoyed it."

The next sections included open plains and tracks, following a wadi.
