"Seb has had a strong morning. This morning was already a bit dirtier than what I expected - it's drier, but there's a lot of loose gravel and in some places that's even slipper than mud." | |||||||

SS20 Zagorska Sela - Kumrovec 2 [Power Stage] (14.09 km) | 8:18.5 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | 101.8 | 0.32 | 2:51:23.5 | 2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC | |
"That last corner! I just got onto the loose and completely missed the next corner. It wasn't all lost there, but I'd say a second was gone. That's a shame, but it was a big fight all weekend and hats off to Seb for the last stage." |
