Info

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"I pushed as hard as I could but with the grip I had I didn't wear the tyres. It has been a hard loop. I was hoping to lose less time, but there's not much I can do. Maybe on the first stage I was not on the limit but I was on the others."

#12

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

That's his first stage win at WRC level and more remarkable considering he is still missing second gear! "Tell Tommi that five gears is enough!"

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"I thought there would be good grip but it's so loose and slippery. A good loop but very difficult."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

In service: "It happened just two or three kilometres into the stage. I was in fourth gear. The road was rough, I touched the right-rear on a bank and it just spat us over onto the roof. Simple as that. Up to that point everything felt good. I was settled, it felt okay, I wasn't trying to do anything silly."

#39

Pieniążek Łukasz
- Mazur P.

He lost power steering at the start of the loop. "I'm completely exhausted."

#34

Kopecký Jan
- Dresler Pavel

"We are trying to improve step-by-step. It's working well so far."

#32

Veiby O.
- Skjærmoen S.

"It's not easy for me to push on these stages yet but I'm happy with my morning loop."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

He completes but his Citroen looks in a terrible state. The right-hand side, roof, rear and bonnet are badly damaged. It looks like he's rolled - at least once. Kris does not give any comments at the finish control before leaving for service.

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"It's getting better and better. I adjust my driving to the car and how to drive it. I have to change my driving style quite a lot."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

rolled

#11

Hänninen Juho
- Lindström Kaj

"I don't know how he saw us behind but he pulled straight over - so thanks to him. The car has been really, really good this morning. Let's see what we can do now for the afternoon."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

stopped at the 4.6km, off road, moving again, but at reduced speed

Paddon Hayden
- Marshall S.

"We are driving to a plan. Today is all about driving cleanly. It's very noisy in the car and difficult to concentrate on the pace notes."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

"I don't know - we have a problem with the engine. From the middle of the stage we have no power. Incredible, but that's life. I don't know what the problem is."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

engine problems

#10

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"I didn't think about my tyres at all in there - I attacked as hard as I could. I wasn't confident in some of the corners near the beginning."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"Apart from one mistake it has been a good loop. I pushed like hell on this one and the stage before. I tried to increase the gap to Seb. I think he made a mistake choosing all-soft tyres."
