“The Morocco part was very stony and fast, it was complicated to stay in contact with the leaders who are traveling at 170 km/h, while our speed is limited by the regulations to 130 km/h, explains Philippe Champigné. The last step was complicated, with a belt problem which damaged the variator. Today we are carrying out oil changes and other services, our mechanics do it wonderfully! The race will restart in Mauritania. »
