Francois Duval was trying equally hard through that final stage in an
effort to get ahead of sixth-placed Cedric Robert. Duval was third fastest
on the second run over the Col de Turini, narrowing the gap to the French
privateer to just 7.7s. Despite his best efforts through SS14, he ended
the rally 0.4s behind Robert.
Francois Duval said: “It was a shame we didn’t catch Robert, but it would
have been silly to have made any mistakes. This is the first time I’ve
scored world championship points – I feel like a proper team driver now.”
