Info

#33

Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"It was not easy. The sand was really thick in places and it was difficult to get traction. It's so difficult to know if you're doing well or not - you just have to trust your rhythm and go from there."

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"It didn't work out so well with the tyres. We had two used ones from yesterday and it was already on the limit."

Sordo Dani
- Carrera Cándido

"It was really demanding and we have very little grip. Taka is driving very well - he's doing amazing stages, so he deserves it."

#18

Katsuta Takamoto
- Johnston Aaron

"Very hot! It's not nice in the car, but otherwise it's okay. We had hard tyres on the front."

#44

Greensmith Gus
- Andersson Jonas

"I didn't have very much grip, that's for sure. I don't really know what more I could have done, but it's not ideal. A bit of a disaster morning."

Loubet Pierre-Louis
- Landais V.

"Wrong tyre choice - we are on full hard. There is no traction and it's impossible to do anything. The rally is still long and a lot of things can happen."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

"We had a very good stage to be honest. The car was working fine, but it's getting more and more loose and sandy. I enjoyed the run and I think we did the maximum we could do."

#42

Breen Craig
- Nagle Paul

"Really bad - I was having to slow down in so many places. A bit of a disaster to be honest."

#16

Fourmaux Adrien
- Coria Alexandre

"I don't know how it happened. I don't know which corner, so I hope I don't do the same on the next loop. I think I also have another rear right puncture, so let's see."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"The tyres were good - it was just very, very loose with no line. It's fully dry and challenging, but all okay?"
