(40 - Chardonnet Sébastien / De La Haye Thibault): puncture
flash info (22 - Nikara Jarkko / Kalliolepo Jarkko): It was so so slippery, lot of water in those ruts. I had to be so careful in lot of places.
flash info (23 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Definitely a baptism of fire. For some reason I cannot get a clean stage. It was like an absolute monsoon. But it is a long rally.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We caught the rain storm. Last 5-kilometres we could hardly see the road, but we are still here.
flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was not easy. Quite good stage to warm up. Only one junction I got in the line and got pulled into the side. We got some heavy rain 8-kilometres to the end.
flash info (8 - Hänninen Juho / Tuominen Tomi): Lost still some time, Jari-Matti had a good stage. We have a lot of power but even so it takes some energy in the mud. Reasonable start.
flash info (19 - Solberg Henning / Minor Ilka): It was ok. It is raining a lot again, this is how it is, I am trying my best.
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): It was really difficult, you can feel the grip, you feel you can push a lot, but sometimes it is slippy like hell. This is the weekend to try some fast line. I think the time is not bad.
flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Really quite happy, the rain before the start of the stage was something else, luckily it cleared before we started the stage. What an incredible place to drive a rally car. Not so bad, but it is a really long long rally.
flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I did not have perfect run, especially at the beginning I was too slow. I feel a lot of grip in the beginning, but it is taking a lot of the power. The road is getting more and more loose. Maybe I have to do a bit better myself.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was just difficult stage. I was trying to find a good grip. The gravel colour is changing a lot and with it the grip level. I cannot do so much more. Some places for sure it is muddy and slippery. For sure I do not think it is getting faster.
flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Pretty good, it was a bit slippy in the end. It's ok, not too bad at all.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): I tried to keep a good speed, but there are so many places you can go so fast. I tried my best. A clean run so far, I am quite happy with my run.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Rain helped me. In the first two corners it was slippy, but after that it was good. I could have gone faster after that, but you never know how much rain.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I could have been faster definitely, but it is raining and there were a couple of places with standing water, I was not flat out at this stage of the rally.
