It was the second consecutive stage win for "Chucky".
"Really difficult navigation, we had a lot of rain last night and that made it hard to find the right tracks. In the end, a lot of guys got lost and, luckily, we got onto the right track. It was a good, strong finish. I just didn't push too much at the start, just gave it a nice rhythm, and at the end I tried to open as much as I could. I think I'll just back it down to 80-70% tomorrow just to put the road book first because you can lose a lot of time like people did today. At the refuelling, you could gauge off the time at front with the guys and it was really good to keep pushing. Once I knew there were no tracks at front, it was important to keep pushing and make as much time as possible because this is what I'm gonna have to face tomorrow. I have to full-focus on this road book and put my life on it, so it's gonna be a really important day for me tomorrow."
