Notes
Source:[ 1] The source fails to mention 21-time stage winner Kenjiro Shinozuka ^1 , while also including Chagin's wins as a navigator for Viktor Moskovskikh during the 1999 event ^2 , while also including Nikolaev's wins as a navigator for Vladimir Chagin during the 2009 event and the 2010 event ^3 and also includes incorrectly Cyril Despres as winner of stage 9 of 2010 Dakar (it was Marc Coma).
