Other info

A new stage, although it is in fact the Querol test driven 12 months ago, but in the opposite direction. It climbs for most of the way, initially on smooth and fast asphalt, but changes after a tight left junction in Esblada near the midpoint. The road becomes very narrow and twisty, with bend following bend until the finish in Pontils.

Info

#32

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"An okay stage, very nice to drive. Kopecky is keeping the pressure on."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"I tried the best I could, but this type of stage is all about fine turning and knowing the car. I'm learning. I need more time in the car."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Just not quite on the pace. The car is not so bad. I don't know, I probably need to push more."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"A good stage, more of a racing stage. The car feels phenomenal - I'm going to try and enjoy it. Now we have to concentrate on managing the lead."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"We made many changes in between and the feeling was much better. Still some bits to improve but the balance is much better now."

#14

Østberg Mads
- Eriksen Torstein

"Better. The first one was really difficult. I don't have much experience of this car on Tarmac. It's incredible but I need to build my experience."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

"I did the same from the beginning but the time is not so good."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"It feels better but still not what I want. The car feels okay but my pace notes were too slow and I was not committed enough. We need to improve."

#34

Guerra jr. Benito
- Cué Daniel

"I'm trying to fight Tempestini for the podium. It's a good fight."

#33

Tempestini S.
- Bernacchini G.

"I cannot be happy with that. I expected the roads would be clean and the car was set up stiff. Instead the stage was dirty so we need to make it softer and higher."

#11

Hänninen Juho
- Lindström Kaj

"A better rhythm than the first one. I really enjoyed it."

Lefebvre Stéphane
- Moreau Gabin

"It was okay. Better than the last one I think. The car was okay but I lose eight seconds and a position to Lappi, so it's not good enough."

#12

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"Okay, no mistakes, no drama. Everything is fine."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"It felt a bit better than the first one. We have to concentrate on doing the best job we can and learn as much as possible."
