"I followed Eduard for the first 150 kilometres, but then he made a small navigation mistake, I overtook him and this is how we ended up in first place. But, in the end, we only gained a minute and a half. The stage had dust everywhere and offered very few opportunities for overtaking. We are going into the last two days with a slim lead, it's not going to be easy."
