- Commenting on his Dakar Rally victory in 2010: It has been a very important day for me, Spain has finally won the Dakar with cars and I'm delighted. I want to thank [co-driver] Lucas [Cruz] for his great work and to all the team, and everybody who put their trust in me. We haven't had any problems, and the car doesn't have a scratch. I think we have done a fast but intelligent Dakar. It has been a very hard fight with my team-mate. We knew it would be that way. As I said before, I want to thank everyone who trusted in me.
