Other info
Terra Alta, 35.68km. Terra Alta is the longest and toughest stage of the rally. It starts in Vilalba del Arcs, heading away through a well-known zig-zag which offers great views of the village and its bell tower in the background. It is mostly gravel but drivers face five surface changes, including an incredibly twisty and undulating 6km asphalt section in the middle and a tight asphalt hairpin on tyres well-used by the gravel roads before the finish.

Info
"I completely broke a damper today. After service I was not too far away, but on these rough stages the car was bouncing like a pogo stick. I just need a bit of luck - it's just horrific, isn't it?"
"I like these stage a lot. The car is working well today - thanks to the team for that."
"A bad day for us. Maybe five punctures? One was down to me, the others I don't know. All I can do now is complete this rally."
"An engine problem all day. A long day. I'm looking forward to getting to service."
"A slow one - it happened two or three kilometres before the finish. A good day though, for sure Sweden is my favourite rally but Spain is my second!"
His earlier handbrake problem fixed by disconnecting it.
"I took it easy because I didn't want to break the car. No risks, we are 10 minutes off the pace and I want to get to tomorrow's Tarmac stages for the experience."
slow puncture
"Okay, but a small mistake in the first afternoon stage cost us a lot of time. I touched a stone and broke a wheel rim."
"A few problems today but I'm keeping my eye on the dark red car [of his title rival Al-Attiyah]. So far everything is still open."
"Okay, we finished the day. We want a good result here. Let's see tomorrow. "
slow puncture
"We got stuck in first gear"
"It happened a few kilometers before the finish. I tried my best to save the car, there were so many impacts, so many sharp stones. I wanted to save the car for the tarmac roads tomorrow."
"Today has been a difficult day. Of course we want to challenge the Volkswagens here. We will try our best tomorrow."
FL puncture
"It was particularly rough in there and I struggled to find the confidence when the car was crashing through. Not what we wanted. I'm ready for the Tarmac tomorrow. Looking forward to it."
"It hasn't been a great day me but we changed a few settings for this last stage and they have given me some encouragement for tomorrow."
"We had a strange feeling in the last 5km but overall it was not such a bad day. We have to say thanks to the organisers for the three minutes gaps to reduce the dust."
"I tried, but I struggled. I think the front-left suspension strut is broken. It gave no support to that corner. I had to be careful all the way through."
"It has been better and better with each stage. Not perfect, but I'm happy with this stage."
"Seb did very well. There were so many cuts in there, so much stuff on the road, I couldn't drive like I did earlier. A few small mistakes early on, but I couldn't have done much better. We are on the pace, much better that last year, so anything is still possible."
"I tried for sure. We wanted to make a difference, but this tyre wear is not enough!"
