Other info
Pratdip, 19.30km. Affectionately known as Brad Pitt, this is one of the rally’s classics - a technical test on mainly good, wide asphalt. It starts on fast but twisty roads and passes Santa Marina chapel, before becoming narrower on rougher asphalt, with several tricky crests. The final 1.3km are new, as it turns towards Mont-roig del Camp instead of the traditional road to Colldejou.

Info
"Fantastic eh? The car is running well. Happy at the moment but the race is not over yet. We will see at the end..."
He stopped to change a puncture. Also had a problem with his wheel-change gun.
"I was cautious. We will do what we can."
"All okay. No risks in the cuts. I tried to keep on the clean tarmac."
"All good. No problem."
broken driveshaft
"Happy to finish this stage to be honest. Looking at the cuts I'm not surprised there have been so many punctures. The last stage will be much cleaner."
"It's very exciting going into the last stage. We need to keep pushing - that's the reality. There is smoke in our car, the jack was banging round in the back and some oil is burning."
stopped at the 8km
"A spin just after the start line. I tried to push after that."
"Just driving in the middle of the road. No cuts. I can't risk a puncture."
"The transmission broke under braking. When I came on the throttle we went off. I tried to get it back. We will try to finish like this. We will see."
"I don't know why he's gone off. He had absolutely no reason to push. It looks like he's cocked up under braking. He just had to keep the position. Now it's made our job more difficult to fight with Citroen. Unbelievable. This is a team sport."
stopped 13.2km into stage - moving again
"We have a problem with the gearbox. We have practically lost 2nd gear. It's still there, but making a bad noise."
"Today is not what we wanted."
"The feeling is really good but we have no tyres any more. We used them in the morning. The car is moving about more now. Overall a positive weekend."
"Okay, but this week for us was really difficult - with the gravel and our mechanical problem yesterday."
