#33 Elfyn EVANS - Scott MARTIN

“A bit dusty at the start. But all ok.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA - Aaron JOHNSTON

“It’s ok. A bit of a hassle at this stage. We had a small issue, but everything is OK now.”

#99 Oliver SOLBERG - Elliott EDMONDSON

“Good stage. Very slippery, but good fun. I always try my best.”

#5 Sami PAJARI - Marko SALMINEN

“I have a very clean run. It was dusty in the first section of the forest. The road is cleaning a lot. It’s ok.”

#1 Sébastien OGIER - Vincent LANDAIS

“It's a very close gap to Thiery. We enjoy this stage, it has a different profile and we didn’t worry so much about punctures.”

#16 Adrien FOURMAUX - Alexandre CORIA

“It was very slippery. There are a lot of corners and it is easy to make a mistake. I was committed, but I can do better.”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE - Martijn WYDAEGHE

“I was sliding a lot at the end. The tyres get warm and you lose efficiency. The Rally is very long and we need to manage.”

#95 Jon ARMSTRONG - Shane BYRNE

“It was very sandy. It was weird at the start, low grip. But as the stage went on it was very sandy. It’s going to be faster. Very nice stage.”

#6 Daniel SORDO - Cándido CARRERA

“All is good. It was a nice stage. Very loose and slippery. We could be faster on the last section. But it’s OK.”

#55 Joshua MCERLEAN - Eoin TREACY

"It’s hard to find traction. It's strange. I don't know what's going on."

#22 Mārtiņš SESKS - Renārs FRANCIS

“I don’t know. Something is not working for us today.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS - Frédéric MICLOTTE

“Such a nice stage. We enjoy it all the time. Really nice!”
