"Not easy. Even in the fast stuff I feel the diff is slipping all the time. I do what I can. It happened after a jump before a corner. I have no idea why. A mechanical problem I think. Just one of those things."

"It was a good stage for me but I think the road will get faster. There is loose gravel in places and the ruts will clean. I don't think my time is enough to win but two or three points would be nice."
