A nice stage. Really fast. A proper wake up call. I was surprised by now slippery it was, but that's how it is. Now I have to build a good rhythm." | ||||||

"The tyre wear was more than I expected and I didn't have time to change the tyres as I had planned to before the previous stage. Here I had to use one tyre that was completely gone. Still, we are here. That's the main thing." | ||||||
