The title holder’s objective is now to ensure he finishes in second place and provide Peugeot with a one-two.

“I think it’s finished now. For sure, we will try to secure second place, so we controlled the gap with Nasser today. We drove a good stage. It was beautiful in the small canyons. The tracks were a little bit like WRC, but they were really clean and really nice to drive on. We never know if I’ll finish second. I’m crossing my fingers for me but also for Carlos – we never know what can happen… that’s motorsport. Second is a good place after the big damage to the car that we got on the marathon stage. We lost approximately one hour and forty-five minutes, so coming back into second place is okay”.
