Info

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"Very clean, no risk at all. Quite nice steady rhythm so I'm happy with that. We had some issues before on El Condor, hopefully we can do the Power Stage OK."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"I tried to have a very smooth run, the car was working well and I made some changes before the stage, on El Condor the car was very harsh so I changed some things."

Sordo Dani
- del Barrio Carlos

"We will continue like this on the Power Stage, drive in the middle of the road and not make mistakes. I don't think I'll be able to catch Thierry so I will aim just to finish."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"He did a good time, we'll have to push in the Power Stage."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"So much cleaning on this stage, the grip will increase so it will be harder to fight with Seb."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"It was fine, just trying to stay on the road. I don't think I'll be able to push for power stage points."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"We have to keep trying on every stage, this was good in places but there are so many things happening so fast with low grip levels."

#10

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"It's more thinking about Portugal, the set-up still feels really nice and the car is working well. Okay a lot of road cleaning but the feeling is good with the car and we move forward to the next rally."

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"It was really difficult, I have never been on this slippery, dry gravel."

#12

Al-Qassimi Khalid
- Patterson C.

"I would not like to do it again! Cleaning the road it feels like you don't know how to drive, it is very loose and very narrow."
