The Frenchman won his third special since the start in Jeddah, but remains in 3rd place in the general standings before the start of the marathon stage.

“Today it was, again, a stage with full attack. We tried to push at full attack from the beginning, but never opening the gas too much. In the end, it’s a little bit the same as since the beginning of the race. This morning the tracks were really rough and more twisty, a little bit like in Morocco, and after it started to be really fast. We made no mistakes at all with the navigation. We only lost ten or fifteen minutes, but that’s nothing. We’ll try to keep the pressure on the leader”.
