#33 Elfyn EVANS - Scott MARTIN

“The grip changes a lot. Not easy.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA - Aaron JOHNSTON

“Nothing special. We are not in a big fight. We try to avoid problems. We are not really pushing.”

#99 Oliver SOLBERG - Elliott EDMONDSON

“Very loose stage. I had no grip at all. I really struggle.”

#5 Sami PAJARI - Marko SALMINEN

“The feeling was OK. There is massive cleaning in this stage. I need to keep up.”

#1 Sébastien OGIER - Vincent LANDAIS

"It was incredibly slippery.”

#16 Adrien FOURMAUX - Alexandre CORIA

“I have no grip all the stage. I was expecting much more grip. We need to improve that.”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE - Martijn WYDAEGHE

“I am on the limit with the grip I have. I made some changes in the set-up. We struggled with the grip in the sandy section. It’s a Rally I always enjoy.”

#95 Jon ARMSTRONG - Shane BYRNE

“It was really difficult. There is a lot of loose gravel from the beginning. By the end there were no tyres left. We try to manage as well as we can.”

#6 Daniel SORDO - Cándido CARRERA

(Horses?) Was nice to at least see something nice! Sami is looking for a horse so maybe he is motivated by this.

#55 Joshua MCERLEAN - Eoin TREACY

“The rhythm it’s OK. We have two stages in the afternoon, it's going to be rough, but we have to manage and avoid punctures. The risk will be higher in the second pass.”

#22 Mārtiņš SESKS - Renārs FRANCIS

“It’s hard to judge by the feeling. We are trying. Everything is the same with the car as yesterday, but the stages are different.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS - Frédéric MICLOTTE

“There is a lot of cleaning. It was a very difficult stage. The last kilometers are tricky and slippery.”
