On his comeback in the quad category, the Chilean won his second consecutive stage and the 21st of his career, increasing his lead in the general standings to more than 9 minutes over Rafal Sonik.
“It was a good stage for me, but it was tough. The average speed was higher than yesterday. I had to be really careful with the road-book. The notes are very dense, so I often had to ease off the gas. I’m fairly happy because I had an electrical problem one kilometre from the finish. It was a problem with the battery which stopped the engine, but I managed to find a solution. I lost one minute, but I luckily I was able to reach the finishing line. It’s going well for the moment and I hope it will be the same for the next stages”.
