Peterhansel won the ninth stage between Nouakchott and Kiffa in Mauritania to extend his lead; however, his win was overshadowed by the death of Australian motorcyclist Andy Caldecott in an accident.[14] The tenth stage was won by Sainz with overall leader Stephane Peterhansel third.[4] Peterhansel's overall lead was reduced after he finished 11th in the eleventh stage behind winner Giniel de Villiers.[15] Peterhansel lost time after hitting a tree during a duststorm in the twelfth stage, which was won by Luc Alphand who took the overall lead.[16] Alphand also won the thirteenth stage between Guinea and Senegal, which was marred by the death of a 10-year-old boy who was hit by a car as he crossed the road.[17] He retained the overall lead after the fourteenth stage, which was won by Guerlain Chicherit; a second child was killed after reportedly being hit by a support lorry.[18] The final stage was not timed as a mark of respect for the three deaths.[19] The rally was won by Luc Alphand.[19]
