"He went off after a tight corner. The conditions are very tricky - some Tarmac has no grip at all. I think it's going to be another big day." | ||||||
SS10 Dikkebus 1 (12.49 km) | Accident | |||||
"At the beginning of the stage, there was a high-speed corner and some bumps. We knew this would be a bad corner, but at the same time you can go pretty high-speed because the angle is not so tight. I took it flat, and when I landed I couldn't turn because of some kick-back I felt from the steering. I went wide and there was a big ditch. In this rally there is no chance to make this kind of mistake." |
