Fifth in the stage and first overall by less than 12 minutes, the American does not want to count his chickens before they hatch.

"It's been hard. All these guys are really fast, everyone's really good this year, everyone's doing really well. The competition's hard. My navigator is doing a great job, my team are giving me a great car and supporting me every day. It's not too big of a lead, but as long as we maintain this to the finish, it doesn't matter if you win by a second or an hour, a win's a win. It's too early to think about victories. Anything can happen. We'll just keep pushing until the end and see and see if we can close this one out on top."
