Informationen zur SP 1
(25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It was not too bad. I had a bit too much hesitation in the damp spots. I think full softs would be better. It is a decent start I can't complain. At the last second I changed to three softs.
(24 - Domínguez Diego / Peñate Rogelio): It was quite ok. Some places were very tricky and had low grip. It was very difficult to read the grip. Thankfully we are here. We went wide on some corners. I still fee like a rookie on this surface.
(23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): Not on the softs. There were really some surprises in there. It was difficult to get any rhythm. We are here. It is quite a high speed stage to what we have in the rally. It was a wake up call for the morning.
(22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): It is a big surprise. I had no confidence at all. I was not pushing really hard. I changed to soft tyres at the last moment.
(21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I think we were little bit too optimistic with the tyre choice for the stage. It was ok, now we know.
(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): It is quite sketchy in there to be honest. We opted for the a more aggressive tyre choice which probably wasn't the best. One hundred percent we expected it to dry. It was last minute decision to go with the cross tyre option.
(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): It was quite tricky to be fair. There were a lot of damp places. I was probably being a bit too careful in those sections. You have to have the grip under you for those sections. We were thinking it would start to dry out but it is not drying out as quicker as we were hoping for.
(20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was a nice flowing stage. It was really difficult knowing what the right option is for tyres.
(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very honestly it wasn't too bad for the first 8km. The last section I was understeering like hell. I was trying to keep the rhythm. we need to adjust for the upcoming stage, otherwise the weekend will be long.
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There are some tricky corners and I had a little moment where I had to back off as I was losing grip.
(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was very slippy. It is a surprisingly good time as there was a concrete drain lying int he road and I hit it at high speed. I was really sure I had puncture but luckily it is nothing. It was two kilometers into the stage. I was lucky.
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It was very tricky conditions in this one to be fair.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I didn't expect it to be as slippy as that.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): puncture
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very changeable actually. It has evolved a bit since the gravel crew went through. Some places are drying but some slippy under the trees it is difficult to read.
Road is mostly dry with some damp patches under the trees after some overnight rain.
