#33 Elfyn EVANS - Scott MARTIN

“It is difficult to find a good rhythm. The end is tricky with the mix conditions. We do everything we can.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA - Aaron JOHNSTON

“It’s OK. Quite tricky the last part in the forest.”

#99 Oliver SOLBERG - Elliott EDMONDSON

“Very slippery. We slide a lot. We had no confidence. The stage was muddy in some places. We trying some things with the car today.”

#5 Sami PAJARI - Marko SALMINEN

“In one slow corner was muddy, it caught me inside and we spun. Anyway it’s OK.”

#1 Sébastien OGIER - Vincent LANDAIS

“We keep focus on ourselves. Drive clean and avoid mistakes. We could push more but the risk of a puncture is high. We are following our plan.”

#16 Adrien FOURMAUX - Alexandre CORIA

“We had a moment. Huge mistake in my pacenotes. After that I slowed down a little bit. It was a very enjoyable stage.”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE - Martijn WYDAEGHE

“It was a good stage. Try to have a good rhythm at the beginning. Nice flow. But not 100% sure about our braking, because it is a new stage and also our pacenotes. All of us are taking care of the car and the tyres. The Rally is very long.”

#95 Jon ARMSTRONG - Shane BYRNE

“It was quite tricky. The start of the stage is like a dry GB Rally. There was a lot of cleaning. In the forest is muddy, but we manage to get through.”

#6 Daniel SORDO - Cándido CARRERA

“In the forest is tricky. The stage is tough, because with the sun through the trees it’s difficult to see the mud and the slippery places. Not easy.”

#55 Joshua MCERLEAN - Eoin TREACY

“It’s good. We try to save the tyres. We set a good time. It's a very tricky stage. It’s still a long Rally. We try to keep our noses clean.”

#22 Mārtiņš SESKS - Renārs FRANCIS

“I don't know. It's really hard to say. It’s strange and different from yesterday.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS - Frédéric MICLOTTE

“In the forest is very tricky. It’s cleaning a lot in the beginning. Good stage.”
