"They then dropped a few seconds with a puncture on SS13, but they are still on top tonight. For the final leg, there is still everything to play for, because our opponents seemed to hit problems at the end of the day's last stage, dropping 20 seconds. I hope that they manage to sort everything out so that the fight can continue, and that Dani and Marc will succeed in staying ahead of them tomorrow."
Asked about the incident that took out his #1 driver
Sebastien Loeb, when he was involved in a head-on collision with
Conrad Rautenbach, Quesnel was, for obvious reasons, still rather frustrated.
"I think we've seen it all since the beginning of the year. Up to the end of SS11, everything was going so smoothly for us," he continued.
"We had both our two cars in first and second places, Sébastien had passed Dani and he was beginning to pull out a gap. He was totally in control of the situation - and then the accident happened. It's so hard to swallow and we went from a real high to a big, big low in a matter of seconds. But that's motor sport; you've just got to accept it."
