Other info
This test is new for many, as it hasn’t been tackled since 2008. A tough new 3.20km section has been added at the start, featuring wide roads but with large chunks of bedrock breaking the surface. It becomes technical and twisty until 12km, at which point it opens out and becomes smoother with fast crests and flowing corners. It is one of the rally’s most picturesque tests, with stunning views of the Calamuchita Valley.
Info

"Okay. A difficult stage and I struggled in there - but apparently everybody did. I don't think it's a bad time."
Technical problems for Juho: "I don't know. We lost the power. We have to go and have a look.""I don't know. We lost the power. We have to go and have a look."
"Good, but to be fair there was some cleaning - that was clear to see. An okay run though. We will continue the pace - a good start."
He rolled but has brought the car to the stage finish.
"The only stage in the loop where we'll get some cleaning. A big moment on a big bump near the start - it just launched the car. Otherwise a good stage." Meeke's team-mate Craig Breen reports a similar incident.
"I'm happy with the stage but the road is rough and difficult for the cars - it will be hard on the second pass."
"It was completely wet on the recce but now it is dry - there is no damp. There were many fast compressions - a couple surprised me - they hit the sump guard hard. The road will clean a lot."
stopped - moving again
"A wrong pace note in a tight corner. I went straight on in a corner and into a ditch. I lost 5 or 6 seconds. The car looks okay."
