Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
Two softs on the rear of the car as he continued road-cleaning duties. “Terrible, the worst
of the day. I’m not sure which position I have. Not so many cars in front. At least it will be
better than today.”
Car 6. SORDO/ROZADA
Stalled in the stage. “One part I lost a lot. The car would not start. One tyre is really bad. I
cannot push, The tyres are finished. I don’t have the material to push.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/WYDAEGHE
Slid wide on a fast right-hander and clipped the banking with the car landing on its side.
He managed to get the car back on its wheels, turned round and continued down the
stage with the co-driver holding the door closed. The Belgian ceded 3min 25sec to Ogier
and slipped outside the top 10. “I had a pace note that was too fast. When I saw the
corner and the pace notes it did not work out. A tree stump put us on its side. We thought
the car was not damaged. We are going to try and repair.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
Badly held up in the dust and was forced to stop at one point in the stage. No doubt he
will be given a notional time by rally officials.
Car 69. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
“It was really tricky. Pretty difficult day and bad luck but this was a difficult stage.”
Car 18. KATSUTA/BARRITT
“New stage is nice. Very slippery. Some corners are very slippery. I hit the bank, maybe
twice. I am still learning what this car can do.”
Car 16. FOURMAUX/JAMOUL
A half spin and finished the stage on a right-rear puncture.
Car 44. GREENSMITH/PATTERSON
“This felt terrible. I really struggled in there. It’s only once.”
