The Belgian still holds the overall lead by 8′29″ over Austin Jones despite finishing eighth today.

"It was a pretty tough day for us. We got caught and suffered a puncture. It was rugged terrain and I played it safe… perhaps a little too safe. There are no major issues with the car. We'll just do a quick check, head to the bivouac and jump straight into bed."
