Other info
Friday’s shortest test starts in the village of Bot and climbs all the way until a final asphalt section that heads downhill into the finish outside Gandesa. The initial gravel is firm and wide, but there are a couple of off-camber corners that might trap drivers. This stage was run in the opposite direction in 2014. / Nejkratší páteční test, do kopce až do závěrečného sjezdu na asfaltu. Začátek je na široké pevné šotolině, ale je zde několik záludných zatáček. Jede se opačně než v roce 2014.

Info
"I lost the rear tyres on the tarmac section. There was really no chance to go faster after that. But we've had a good day today. We have shown again that we have good pace on gravel."
"This stage was an improvement on the morning but it's not a stage I enjoy. This morning was alright but I was never really comfortable. The car never felt right all afternoon."
late start to SS - locked-on handbrake
"Not so bad but I am struggling to change gear with this gearbox."
"It was okay. We had another puncture on the previous stage. I'm just driving and trying to enjoy it. Rallies are about setting good times and avoiding trouble."
puncture
"Not really good, I braked too late in some junctions. The next one is the proper one."
"Everybody is managing their tyres here because the next stage will be critical. There's something strange at the rear of our car, it is moving around a bit and there is a knocking noise."
"I think I'll have some good tyres on the front for the final stage."
"It was okay, a bit more confidence. Working in the right way now. Maybe not the best tyre management this afternoon. I have one badly worn on the front. Maybe six tyres would have been a better idea."
"We mixed the tyres around a bit, putting worn ones on here to save the good ones for the long stage."
"I made a mistake in a left-hander. I lost one or two seconds. I still can't find the perfect stage."
"A good feeling going on. I'm enjoying the driving and the car feels good. I enjoy these moments. They should happen more often."
"I have to be patient. I'm looking forward to the long stage, but it will be difficult to make much time there - I expect Jari-Matti will be right behind."
