I am well awake this morning. It was OK, I had a decent run through."

Evans Elfyn - Martin Scott

Ogier Sébastien - Landais Vincent

‍

Mikkelsen Andreas - Eriksen T.

"It's an awesome stage, really beautiful. Its proper Tarmac, but I've still got a lot to learn in this car."

Katsuta Takamoto - Johnston Aaron

"No moments, we are safely through. The start is dry, but the downhill sections are quite greasy."

Munster Grégoire - Louka Louis

"This one was less good, the beginning is very dry, I did not commit enough. Every time I do a corner, I think 'I can go 5 km/h faster'."

‍

‍

‍

Neuville Thierry - Wydaeghe Martijn

"It's getting quite dirty, at the end the grip was much higher than I expected. I could have gone much quicker."

Ogier Sébastien - Landais Vincent

"Its a shame the first stage was terrible..."

Evans Elfyn - Martin Scott

"Little issues in there, but OK..."

Tänak Ott - Järveoja Martin

"Tricky stage, it's getting more and more dirty. Overall I had a clean run"

"No risk, but sometimes I can't really understand the notes, and I hesitate, so I lose a bit of time. Its a new stage, so thats part of the issue"

Ogier Sébastien - Landais Vincent

"It would be better if we didn't give so much time away this morning"

Evans Elfyn - Martin Scott

"It's getting a dirtier and dirtier all the time, so thats difficult. At the end of the last stage I had no hybrid, again"

‍

‍

Evans Elfyn - Martin Scott
