Car 1, Ogier/Ingrassia
“It's a good time. I tried to push harder on this one. The first one I tried to save my tyres. Now, it is all about the long one. If it stays like this – or even lose a little – then it is perfect."
Car 2, Tanak/Jarveoja
“It was good – a clean run and no problem. I don't know if I can catch Breen but now, it is important to collect the points.”
Car 3, Evans/Barritt
“Not very good. I struggled a lot with confidence and the balance in the car. We are on a different package this afternoon and it wasn’t what I was expecting.”
Car 5, Neuville/Gilsoul
“It was OK. I was three soft and one hard. There is a section where you gain with the soft and another where you lose with the soft. We will see if we have the tyres for the last, long stage.”
Car 6, Sordo/Marti
“I am trying. I’m trying for the clean line but I enjoy it a lot. On this stage, I was a little careful for the rear tyres – we have soft on the back and hard on the front. But Sebastien was very fast. We have good tyres for the next one, so we will try to do something there.”
Car 7, Meeke/Nagle
“I have learned that yesterday was better.”
Car 8, Breen/Martin
“There is something strange - it feels like a puncture on the front. For five or six Km in the stage.”
Car 9, Lefebvre/Moreau
“I am happy with the set-up. The car was moving a little bit but OK. I lost some time in the dust of Khalid but not too bad. This stage was good. ”
Car 10, Latvala/Antilla
“I have a good feeling with the car – it is going very well. There is a lot of pressure on the stomach so it is not very nice. I wouldn't want anyone else to feel [ill] like I am feeling today.”
Car 11, Hanninen/Lindstrom
“We had an issue on the stage – it was maybe a lack of fuel pressure. I fixed it but it cut the engine again before the finish.”
Car 12, Lappi/Ferm
“I am really trying to beat Jari with a big push but I lost a bit of time. Maybe some corners I was not hard enough. But we need to keep it on the road. I am too competitive to not push.”
Car 14, Ostberg/Floene
“It was better in the previous stage but I struggled in this one again. I had no rhythm.”
Car 21, Prokop/Tománek
“We made a puncture on the front left. It was a long corner and there was some stone. We lost the pressure in the tyre. But luckily we managed to get to the finish without stopping.”
Car 23, Raoux/Escartefigue
“The stage was fine. I feel better with the car and I am beginning to learn the roads, so it is a pleasure. I changed the ride height and the dampers.”
Car 31, Mikkelsen/Synnevaag
“It was a new stage this morning. On the second pass, I was pushing a bit more as I knew the lines a bit. This stage is a tyre-killer and I tried to take care of my softs. It's the long stage coming up now and I tried to keep them as good as possible.”
Car 32, Tidemund/Andersson
“We are on soft tyres so they were moving too much early in the stage. But you know, we were trying. It feels like the stage is a tyre killer. We have more to put on for the long one.”
Car 33, Camili/Veillas
“We didn’t do this stage this morning, so we are all the time in delay on this rally. We are not really on the pace this afternoon. We will see on the next one.”
Car 34, Suninen/Markkula
“I hope I managed to get past Tidemund. The fight is tight. Now there are starting to be ruts. Let's see what is the time.”
Car 39, Tempestini/Bernacchini
“It was good. We didn't take any risks. One moment, we had to take care of the bonnet, as the catch on one side was coming up but we managed to finish this stage.”
Car 40, Heller/Olmos
“That was very good. We improved 30 seconds over the first time, so for us, keeping improving s very good. We are improving Km by Km.”
Car 41, Gilbert/Jamoul
“It was good. Like this morning. The tyres were too hard and I think it will be the same for the last one.”
Car 42, Greensmith/Parry
“It wasn’t a great stage. I’m in a bit of pain with my hand from this morning. I was a bit cautious and need to get some experience and then, think about a little bit of a go in Fafe.”
Car 46, Pieniazek/Mazur
“It was quite OK. The stages are amazing and very demanding here. We are very happy that we can take part in such a big event. I enjoy the stages so much. Everyone is amazing.”
Car 47, Campos/Costa
“For the national rally it was OK. Now, I want to get to the end as I have a problem with the turbocharger so I need to check.”
Car 81, Meireles/Castro
“I had to run in road mode, as I have problems with the fuel pressure. The car is not working so well. The engine is always going down.”
