#69 Kalle ROVANPERÄ / Jonne HALTTUNEN

“Not so bad. We had a big moment in the stage and the car is a little bit damaged. In the Recce it was not so dramatic”.

#33 Elfyn EVANS / Scott MARTIN

“I don’t know. I felt pretty hard on the car. The time seems really bad”.

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE

“I have to take it steady in some compressions. I could have rolled the car over the front if I wanted, so I had to be careful”.

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA

“I think the road position is equal and difficult for everybody. I just have a massive fight in the car. No way it’s driving like it should”.

#17 Sebástien OGIER / Vincent LANDAIS

“We had a clean drive. We were a little bit on the safe side, but it’s just the beginning of the Rally”.

#4 Esapekka LAPPI / Janne FERM

“I am doing what I can. We had a massive jump, we almost rolled off”.

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA / Aaron JOHNSTON

“The car is OK. I am surprised how the car reacts in that jump”.

#6 Daniel SORDO / Cándido CARRERA

“I think the road is getting worse. There is mud in places. I had a good feeling with the car and I thought I had a good stage”.

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS / Frederic MICLOTTE

“It was OK. We had a small issue with an engine from yesterday, now power”.
