“I am really happy that we managed to do it and we can go to the next round pretty happy and with confidence as well.

“It is a shame Fredrik and David Bogie retired the way they did, but fortunately luck has gone our way this time and I look forward to the battle resuming on the Nicky Grist Stages in two weeks time.”
