Stephane Peterhansel Stage Quotations

Today's stage was difficult with the number of bikes and cars running closely together. I kept my distance to stay out of the dust and avoid hitting a rock or a big hole in the track.

Today's stage was quite varied. There were places where you needed to be very careful. It was muddy in parts and some puddles of water stood in sheltered areas.
