Every day before I catch the train, I start at this intersection in Menton. At the weekend, especially, the direction from Italy is full of cyclists. At every green light, a larger or smaller group. The telltale signs: the sharp features under the helmet and the bikes we know from the TdF.
The first to return to MC were Greensmith, Gryazin and Solberg. Oliver S. was already handsome like this. And with a beard, he’s really handsome.
Nikolaj Grjazin 9th place overall with WRC2. With this used Škoda of some private Italian team. For me the best rally driver of the moment. I see a beauty there, so she will be Grjazin’s partner. That’s how we talked. Such nice people. Where are those aggressive, hateful Russians, as our pro-government media writes about them? Finally, she thanked me for the support. Amazing.
Kalle Rovanperä was allowed to start. At home, the Frenchman Sebastian Ogier must win. His time will come in 3 weeks at the Swedish Rally. Satisfied generality (Jari-Matti Latvala) Toyota Gazoo Racing. We take 1st, 2nd and 4th place from the most famous rally. Only poor Katsuta crashed 3 SS before the finish.
Our Jan Černý, great 14th place overall!
I stayed at the port all day. Honestly, I feel the best here. Without dozens of cameras and police at every step like at Place du Casino.
And it was worth it!
