"It was difficult. I was a bit careful at the beginning and I had a bit of a brake issue. The pedal is sometimes going to the bottom and I have no brakes, so I need to check." | |||||||

puncture | |||||||

"The one who matters is coming behind [Evans]. Some corners it felt like we didn't even have any studs, we were just sliding away. It was tricky." | |||||||
SS10 Saint-Clément - Freissinières (20.48 km) | 17:10.5 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | 71.5 | 2.06 | 2:04:31.6 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | |

4. leg | |||||||
SS12 Puget-Théniers - La Penne 1 (12.93 km) | 8:47.6 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | 88.2 | 2:25:19.5 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | ||
"There is no info from the gravel crew that you can trust, just because it's changed so much since they passed through. A tricky one." | |||||||
