All the victories are pretty, but this one is special because the context was delicate until the end, at the last moment. It is impossible to imagine this scenario, in which we fight with seconds. I have done 90 or 85 rallies in my life, and this is the one where I fought the most. Today I am marked. Stephane Peterhansel, there is none only one on the planet. I don’t know if I’m good in a car, I’ve never tried. What is clear is that he has a good co-driver, Jean-Paul Cotteret, and q I have a good teammate, Ruben Faria ".
