INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9
(62 - Bergkvist Emil / Sjöberg Joakim): puncture
retired (37 - Arai Hiroki / Lehtinen Jarmo): retired after SS 9
flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Struggled in the ruts on this one. A lot of really big rocks on the inside of corners, I hit one quite hard and I thought we might have had a puncture.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was really rough and I was starting to worry about punctures and those sorts of things. I'm lifting to make sure nothing happens.
flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The risk is quite high, we had some tyre wear and I could not push. I just had to go a decent speed and take no cuts. I'm not happy with my speed, again it's on purpose and I can't do anything else.
flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I struggled a bit in some places, it was pretty rough and I was knocked off the line in a few spots. But I'm still in the rally.
flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was a bit more rough in there, we went a bit softer on the car. Sometimes I lose grip completely when I'm in the lines. It is better when there are no lines.
flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's ok, Ott is going very, very fast at the moment. I tried to be a little bit more cautious here because of the rocks, I didn't want to get a puncture.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Everything is fine, it is pretty rough with many, many rocks. One was on braking and it caught the front-right, hopefully it didn't give us a slow puncture.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Tomorrow is a fair fight, so then we will push hard. Today was very important to get a good position for tomorrow. It was very rough. I believe road position will make a big difference, he's quite a bit down the order.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Really rutted, I didn't expect that at the beginning of the stage, which was smooth. There is too much gap to get past Elfyn so unless he makes a mistake I can't imagine we'll get past him.
flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't be happy about the position, but we knew from the beginning it was going to be tough. Being first on the road has been a disaster but I can't do more than that.
