Other info
Terra Alta is the longest stage of the rally. A 3km section at the start, which was new last year, leads into Vilalba del Arcs, before it heads 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 near the finish on tyres worn by the gravel.

Info
"This was a difficult one! First Arai was crashed, his car - and a tree - in the middle of the road. The crew are okay and we managed to pass. Then we lost some brakes - my mistake - otherwise okay."
"We have a problem with the gearbox."
"I'm not happy because we ask for a few minutes more [between us and Serderidis] because of the dust. We caught him and we lost a lot of time. It should not be like this."
stopped
"It's ridiculous! I can't see & co-driver struggling to speak [bc of dust in the car] It's difficult to breath"
"This one is very, very difficult. It's only my second time here. Difficult to push."
"I was haemorrhaging time in the Tarmac section."
"A clean stage. I made some differential changes before the stage and it's better now. I start to feel more and more at home."
"No brakes. When we hit the Tarmac section they went - and that was it."
"A nice stage but difficult to keep a rhythm and keep it in the line. The rear started to slide everywhere. Not so easy."
"I nicked something on the inside of a corner near the end. Must have been a stone or something. It didn't cost us a lot of time. Before that I was lacking traction."
"It was okay but in the middle I though the car started to feel a bit strange. It seems okay now."
"I felt I could push in here but when you look at Ogier's pace maybe mine wasn't the best tyre choice."
"A tricky one. At the beginning it was okay, but on the Tarmac section we had a tyre alarm. I thought we had a puncture. It was disturbing and I lost my rhythm."
"Not the greatest choice. I lost them about 10km into the stage. I tried to do everything but there was nothing we could do. A few wide moments but we survived and we can continue to push."
"I really struggled through the end of the stage. Let's see how the time compares, maybe on the soft tyres the guys behind will struggle as well."
