INFORMATION ABOUT SS 2
(59 - Meireles Pedro / Alves Pedro): puncture
retired (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): technical problem after SS 2
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): How much am I behind? 7.5? Okay, I was too careful at the beginning.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was good. A little bit dirty in some places and slippery. I made a choice to put two hard compound tyres on and I don't know how it's working against the others.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): alternator warning light
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): All good. I don't know if the road surface really gets better - in some corners yes, but in the soft corners it doesn't. It's 50-50.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I took a lot of care of the tyres at the end of the stage but we had a vibration on the rear-left so I thought one was delaminating. It's very loose and we have to take care of the tyres.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It is demanding, especially at the end with all the long corners and the bedrock. Generally I was struggling a bit with the rhythm - I had water leaking on my windsreen all the time and the dust was sticking to it.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This one was much, much worse to be honest. Straight sway when we go to these wide roads and much faster stages we have so much understeer and we are killing the front tyres.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I'm not sure it's completely related to opening the road. Of course that has an effect, but it's not working as it should be doing either.
