Other info
Sherwood begins on a wide uphill road and the opening few kilometres are fast and flowing with plenty of corners requiring full commitment. After 10km the stage narrows and the second half contains several muddy sections which could easily catch out drivers.

Info
"In the last five kilometers I lost the rhythm a bit. I made a small mistake and lost my concentration. I lost a few seconds there. Considering the punctures this was not the day I was expecting."
“It's difficult to judge the corner grip here, it feels like a first pass,"
“Really amazing. I'm really enjoying my third rally with Hyundai - the car feels like home now. Things are looking very good."
“The soft tyre was not the right choice. It felt like I had a puncture here."
“I had a fairly huge jump near the end," he explains. "I had a bad feeling near the start, a bad vibration, I hit a bale."
"Fine. Just trying to figure it out. Neuville on hard tyres has made two seconds over the loop. Seems like the tyres choices were a mixed bag."
“Pretty good. It felt like a good run."
“I wanted to to be faster than that but I did all I could on these hard tyres. It was not so clean as I thought, especially in the cuts where there was dirt on the road. I was a bit too careful where it was dirty."
"Same as this morning with the missing aero. No other issues."
“I struggled a bit on the soft tyres here - especially at the rear. I couldn't really push and lost a bit of time here."
"It's been a tough day for us. We tried to do our best but for sure it's not so easy to drive with the gear shift problem. We didn't manage to fix it this time - the paddles worked intermittently here."
