INFORMATION ABOUT SS 2
Stage is cancelled.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We had no info on that corner! We had no chance, no chance!
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was just safe. When there is the needles, I have no confidence. You can lose the grip suddenly and it's quite tricky to try to gain the confidence.
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Incredibly difficult, so I am happy to make it through. It's impossible to know if you are on the right rhythm. There is a little line in the pine needles, so for sure the first car on the road will have the worst conditions.
Stage is stopped because of accident of car st.no.6 and 16.
retired (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): accident in SS 2
retired (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): accident in SS 2
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): was out of road
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very difficult to watch the times in there. The road is changing all the time and also with the rain it makes it very tricky. Every time I tried to go a bit faster I lost the grip, so at the end I just took it steady.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's horrific. I felt so slow in so many places, but then also on the edge in others. It's impossible to judge.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): These conditions are the most difficult I have seen all year - it's eve more difficult than Central Europe. There are so many pine needles on the road and it's definitely going to clean for the later cars.
