#57

Delecour F.
- De Castelli S.

"So difficult going downhill, it was so tricky! I caught Trivino who was in the middle of the road. I don't know why they let me start in this position. On the stage before I overtook three cars."

#34

Giordano Quentin
- Sarreaud V.

"The Spanish man pass me in the icy section because he couldn't slow down! He pushed my car off into a hole. My co-driver is hurt. He is crazy!"

#47

Athanassoulas L.

Missing rear bumper. "Very slippery in the last kilometres. Lost bumper on the first stage."

#64

#46

Ptaszek Hubert
- Kozdroń Kamil

"Perfect tyre choice, it's working really good."

#10

Paddon Hayden
- Kennard John

#17

Bouffier Bryan
- Bellotto Victor

"We got stuck in a hairpin. Fortunately there were spectators there to get us moving again."

#17

Bouffier Bryan
- Bellotto Victor

Reported to have stopped in the stage - moving again..

#12

Tänak Ott
- Mõlder Raigo

"No grip. We can't do anything. These are the conditions we have. Our only chance is to survive and learn the rally. No good performance at the moment."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

"It's okay but now we have a problem with gearbox - we had to use the manual shift early in the stage."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"Tricky. Very tricky. I tried my best. Once you are sliding you are finished. Mikkelsen's tyre choice got him a lot of time here."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"We slid wide and hit something on the outside. This was an incredibly difficult stage. After the slide we lost a bit of confidence."

Østberg Mads
- Fløene Ola

"Scary. You have to take it slowly. In some places it was a little bit terrifying."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"Not sure I've ever driven in such difficult, slippery conditions."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Very difficult with the tyres we have. The downhill especially was very slippery. The grip was so low it affected my driving rhythm."

- Serre Pascal

"Very difficult and completely different from the previous stage. There's a lot of snow on the downhill section."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

Replacement suspension arm fitted. He's off to SS10.
