Steve Holcombe started exactly were he left off from last season. The quadruple World Champion slotted himself quickly into the top spot despite having the tough job of opening the track. He won 8 specials and increased his gap with each passing test. Holcombe completed the day with an advantage of 1 minute and 7 seconds.
"This victory is great for me because it is the result of my hard work of winter and all my pre-season preparation," Holcombe said.
