Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“I am happy to be through this one. It is a very difficult stage.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/WYDAEGHE
Damaged rear right wheel rim. “It went quite okay. I tried to push where you can . In many
places we had to slow down a bit. I was surprised to be slower at the end. I was worried
about the puncture.”
Car 8. TÄNAK/JÄRVEOJA
“We survived so it is good. Since early I had a feeling that a tyre had delaminated. But we
are here and that is the main thing.”
Car 69. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
Dust still pouring into the Yaris on the stages. “It was fine. To be honest I tried to be quite
sensible. I tried to avoid all the ruts and the stones. But the last part it is impossible. It is
all ruts and stones.”
Car 18. KATSUTA/BARRITT
“A lot of changes. Very rough stage and soft when you are not on the road. The under
guard is on the road and you cannot move forward.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/PATTERSON
Rear-right tyre off the rim after a similar issue to Neuville. “It seemed okay. No issues just
took it pretty safe. The last 3km we had a puncture so glad to be through this one.”
