What does 'Driven axle tyres will wear out' mean and what is the significance to the final stage
Thanks
Steve
The significance of the final stage is that it's the longest one Steve, 38 miles of loose surface where tyres are scrabbling for grip and having chunks ripped off them by sharp gravel. The Stratos has an advantage over the Escorts here as there is more weight over the driven wheels creating better bite and, hopefully, less wear. But a puncture for any of the leaders is possible and could change the whole leaderboard.

The Stratos has stopped!
8 miles from the end... Such a great effort, come back the year after next...

Oh no what a bad luck so close of the end with a fantastic result
Such an amazing drive and performance !
I remember the night stages in Costa brava mountains behind Steve in 2018 few months before his accident and was stunned by the sound of the engine but now since recent rebuild the Stratos is simply a blast !!

It's too cruel. He deserved a podium.
