INFORMATION ABOUT SS 8
retired (151 - Bonnard Laurent / Galmiche Nathalie): retired in SS 8
retired (164 - Folb Thierry / Poujol Sébastien): retired in SS 8
retired (127 - Morim José / Martin Yannick): retired in SS 8
flash info (74 - Kubica Robert / Baran Maciej): We are just driving safely. I have to drive my rally and that is it. The conditions were pretty nice for wet, no drama, no standing water, better than expected.
flash info (22 - Dumas Romain / Giraudet Denis): It was very difficult, it was foggy, I was not trusting the grip so a lot of times I was too slow. I did not drive good.
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Ernst Michal): It was quite ok, I expect much more difficult conditions and the traction was very good, I was surprised how it was. I try to improve a bit as in these slippy conditions I do not have much experience.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): All the poles have been taken away, very strange. I dont think the spectators have done it. All of them are gone and a lot of cutting. I entered every corner thinking they were there and they werent.
flash info (2 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok, so many corners are different from the recce, it is really annoying, I dont like this. We try to do something.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Nagle Paul): For sure it is quite dirty, struggle to find confidence in these conditions, a lot of understeer.
flash info (5 - Novikov Evgeny / Minor Ilka): Nothing, I was just very careful on this first stage on the wet. Just very careful, later I will push a bit more, but to start I was careful.
flash info (8 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We have to push, we have to take risk. There was some fog on the top, it was not easy. Thierry is going to be hard to catch, at least we will fight to get a place on the podium.
flash info (1 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Nothing happen really, I have a lot of oversteer in the fast section, I cannot trust the car in the fast parts.
flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was good start, I lost everything on the first 2 splits, when we had a delay at the start of stage, I was not confident to know if there would be good temperature of the tyres. In a couple of places there wwere some big cuts, it was a surprise for me.
flash info (10 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): We spun, you can see the road very bad. I lost time there, all the time I lost in this place. It will be difficult, Neuville is pushing really hard. It will be difficult to catch him.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): More cuts than I expect, they changed it since the recce, maybe spectators or the organisation. We had to change a bit the pacenotes.
