The Dacia driver lost time on today's stage but is satisfied after completing a marathon stage without incident and is still well positioned on the provisional podium.
“It was not an easy stage. From the beginning, we tried to manage without any mistakes or punctures. I think we did a good job. Henk Lategan did a really good run and we just stayed behind him, we didn’t really need to pass because it was so risky and the navigation was not really easy. The marathon day is finished and we are quite happy. I don’t know if we have lost time but if it’s around ten minutes, then no problem”.
