INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9
retired (51 - Kelly Eamonn / Mohan Conor): retired after SS 9
retired (81 - Pahlitzsch Thomas / Grundmann Stefan): accident in SS 9
flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): From my point of view, even if the weather is like this it should not be rainy. I went with the softs but it feels too soft. The grip is good.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was tough, the road is really dirty. I was fighting with the traction. Less rain than expected to be honest but we need to keep it up.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was OK, little bit steady in a few sections but generally it was clean.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was OK, dirty stage as expected. Maybe not pushing hard enough. It was my tyre choice, let's see if it works out at the end.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's getting more dirty than I expected to be honest. Quite bumpy as well, we struggled with that. The setup is similar, we were expecting rainy weather today so not optimal.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I feel really good, wanted to really enjoy this stage because during today I think it will be difficult conditions. I was pushing, I could've been a bit smoother, but I am happy.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Quite dry in there, the next one might be dry again. We didn't focus too much on these two stages to get a good time. Having a hard tyre on the front left is quite okay, it works well enough.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I have a bit better feeling today, I just have so many pace notes and sometimes I don't remember so I have to brake. We tried to keep a better rhythm than yesterday. The car was a bit more playful today. The road position is a bit better, there isn't too much dirt on the road.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I didn't benefit enough because I was being cautious in every corner because of yesterday, but here everything is clean. I was struggling with the tyre getting overheated, so not the perfect start.
Grey skies hang over the stage. The first pass should prove difficult, with chilly conditions providing more ever-changing grip that challenged our drivers' experience yesterday. Light rain also being reported on the stop line.
