INFORMATION ABOUT SS 13
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Very difficult, especially in these very narrow and muddy places. You're never happy when it's like this but we're doing what we've got to do for now.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): So far, so good. We have two hard tyres on the car and they are helping I think.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): There is nothing really to fight for at the moment. When we are in this position we need to make sure that we get to the finish in the best way possible.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's very dirty inside of the forest, so the confidence was not really high there. When it was dry and quite clean, I had the best feeling of the weekend. It was quite enjoyable but I was just too careful in the dirty places.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It started quite okay. We got a foggy screen in the middle, but that was our own mistake.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was quite an intense stage. It's very technical and twisty but at the same time you need to listen very carefully to the pace notes because there are some slippy sections.
