Hmm, not entirely sure what you mean. I think the rim may have been damaged after the puncture. You just can't say for sure either way.

first Toyota 1-2 this year on stage

This was at the finish line, not when they are hard at it mid stage!! No excuse.

"I had the last corner as flat in my notes to get the perfect exit towards the flying finish and I touched on the outside."

If they were steel they wouldn't break. Try magnesium/aluminium.

Wonderful shots of Kalle and Sarrazin race on stage

we see that some rubber still on a wheel and edges of a rim didn't touch a ground. So it easy to make a judgment that puncture and broken rip happen at one moment.
