“It’s difficult, but we won the stage today. I think I reduce the gap. The quad is working again, my mechanics worked all night because the last two days it was not working well. We are fighting and we’ll keep fighting until the end. I want the win and he wants the win, so it will be a nice ending to the rally. I passed him out there and I tried to make a big gap. I just went full gas to make a difference, so it works. I will take risks: I need to reduce the gap and I want to win. The only way to win is just to try and reduce the gap, so I have to go full gas”.
