Nice stage, fast one, but difficult. Now we need to wait for Kajto and Lucas for their times. This weekend we want only victory. | ||||||

First stage is very bad because I didn't catch my rhytm. I think the time is not good, I'm not happy. I hope we can push better in other stages. | ||||||

I like gravel, it's very fast stage. We can shift fifth gear and just go. There was a big jump, I liked it. The next stage is more narrow and technical. | ||||||

Now in second loop the road is clean and good grip. Of course there are ruts and stones but it's no problem for the Fabia. | ||||||

Very good feeling, but we almost crashed two corners before finish. We won our home event, it's great result. Next year we will do all ERC gravel events. Today no party, tomorrow is working day. |
