A gearbox problem on Friday morning’s opening loop of gravel stages ruled Evans’ Toyota Yaris WRC out of the frame for a win. Asked for specifics on the gearbox issue aboard his Yaris, Evans said: “I think it was more to do with the electrical side rather than something mechanical in the transmission. There was nothing we could have done between the stages.’’

由于禮拜五早上的變速箱問題，埃文斯早早得在希臘的砂石賽道上退出了該站的爭奪。在被問及變速箱問題細節(jié)時，埃文斯表示：“我覺得這更像是電子系統(tǒng)抽了瘋，而不是機械部件損壞，我們正在賽段中比到一半，對比無能為力?！?/p>

“This was not our weekend but these things happen in rallying and it’s been very rare at this team to have an issue like we had on Friday. The feeling in the car was generally quite good," said Evans.

“這周不屬于我們，這類事故在拉力賽中發(fā)生并不奇怪。只是在我們車隊里，這就比較罕見了，尤其還是禮拜五比賽剛開始的時候。不過車子總體上的感覺還是不錯的?！卑Ｎ乃寡a充道。

He now trails Ogier, who finished the Acropolis third, by 44 points with three rallies and 90 points on offer between now and the end of the year.

和拿下希臘站季軍的奧吉爾相比，英國人目前落后榜首的法國人44分，而距離賽季結(jié)束一共也只有90分供埃文斯爭取了。

“It’s fair to say the championship is more or less decided now. But I’m not giving up – we’ll keep giving it everything we’ve got. The approach to the rallies won’t change, but it was always a long shot and now it’s much longer."

“平心而論，今年的爭冠形式多多少少就這樣訂了。但我不會放棄，依然會傾盡全力。我們每站的策略和心態(tài)都不會改變，只不過，我們需要從長計議，而目標正在漸行漸遠?！?/p>
