Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“I don’t even know which position I have now. So far I have not done a bad day. It was to
be expected that I have difficulties. Let’s see how many cars we have in front of us
tomorrow or it will be very difficult.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/WYDAEGHE
“I had a very clean stage again. I’m not sure I can go much faster. Then I slide too much.
It is cleaning in there at the hairpins. There is no clean line.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
“It’s not easy out there. To be honest if I am behind Thierry it is not really a good time. It’s
not fitting like a glove, just at the moment. It’s not giving the ultimate confidence, let’s say.”
Car 8. TÄNAK/JÄRVEOJA
“That was okay, but I had a puncture on the previous one and lost the tyre.”
Car 69. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
“It was really shit to be honest. We had some issues with the tyres. It is not good and I
had to take care of it.”
Car 18. KATSUTA/BARRITT
Dropped behind Evans again into fifth place. “It’s nice day. It is still up and down a bit. I
need to find some more improvements. Still something missing.”
Car 16. FOURMAUX/JAMOUL
“The stage is really nice and we have a good pace but I stalled one time in a hairpin and I
had to lift in one point because we had an issue with the engine.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/PATTERSON
“I’m quite happy with this time. That is fairly respectable.”
Car 6. SORDO/ROZADA
“I just need to drive slow because I have a problem with two tyres on the front in the first
stage. I have two soft that are a little bit used. I just need to manage and finish.”
Car 21. BULACIA/OHANNESIAN
“The feeling is better. We have improved our set-up. I am enjoying these beautiful
Portuguese roads.”
Car 22. LAPPI/FERM
“It’s nice to be honest. I would like to be on the top, but I like it. Proper racing again.”
Car 23. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
“It feels quite bad to be honest. It is not a rally where you can enjoy the stages. It’s all
about the competition. I am not able to have a rhythm in the stages. I need to sort it out. I
cannot do a full rally like this.”
Car 24. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“It’s a good fight.”
Car 25. GRYAZIN/ALEXSANDROV
“I think with the strategy we win this one. It was quite good. Now we go to the next one.”
Car 41. MAYR-MELNHOF/WELSERSHEIMB
Stopped in SS5.
Car 51. SOLANS/SANJUAN
The early WRC3 leader was off the road in SS5.
Car 54. PIRIANO/GARCIA
Stopped in SS5.
