Info
Puncture
"It's raining every time I go out on the stage! It was really muddy on this one and I had no rear tyres left - it was like driving in rear-wheel drive all the time."
Lost rear spoiler. "Really? That's not ideal! For sure, it could be a problem, but I don't know how much we will lose because it's so muddy."
"Sounds like Kalle - getting all the good luck! I got caught in loads of rain and the tyres were so worn that I was aquaplaning everywhere."
"The previous stage was okay but this one has changed a lot and after 10km it started to be very muddy. It was quite tricky but we are here."
"I couldn't see anything at some points. It was pretty bad for a while and then the conditions were very bad with a lot of aquaplaning."
Clutch
"Not easy. The tyres were quite dead on the rear and when the rain came it was quite difficult to keep the car in the line."
"It was just starting to rain quite a lot and in the mud it's quite undriveable."
"I think without two spare wheels it's not so enjoyable to drive at the moment. Luckily in here it was really muddy, so hopefully we have enough tyres for the next one."
