INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
(108 - Dessi Marc / Dessi Vanessa): problems with engine
flash info (49 - Margaillan Matthieu / Degout Jérôme): I went off road in a field and lost 15 to 20 seconds.
(38 - Foulon Alain / Ferro Bernard): puncture
flash info (57 - Delecour François / De Castelli Sabrina): No problem but we are starting very far down the order and that's a big disadvantage in the dirty conditions. We caught the car ahead so we lost more and more time.
(65 - Koči Martin / Kostka Lukáš): puncture
flash info (41 - Bonato Yoann / Giraudet Denis): No problems but our choice of snow tyres for this one wasn't the best. Perhaps they will be better suited to the next stage.
flash info (46 - Ptaszek Hubert / Kozdroń Kamil): A crazy start - we caught the car in front of us.
flash info (42 - Suárez José António / Carrera Cándido): I don't know where it happened. I noticed it in the last 4 or 5 km.
(42 - Suárez José António / Carrera Cándido): puncture
(36 - Tempestini Simone / Chiarcossi Matteo): puncture
flash info (35 - Evans Elfyn / Parry Craig): I don't know what happened. There were no cuts but it went down straightaway and I've driven 15 km on it.
(35 - Evans Elfyn / Parry Craig): puncture
flash info (32 - Kremer Armin / Winklhofer Pirmin): Not bad. Some dirt, ice and mud in the road. Not easy but fun.
flash info (34 - Giordano Quentin / Sarreaud Valentin): The car is good, I lose at the middle of the stage, we have some ice in the middle of the road. Difficult with soft now on the ice.
flash info (33 - Maurin Julien / Veillas Benjamin): The stage was good, the first for us. The cars, the tyre. The road is clean but there is come part with the cut and some ice on the road.
flash info (6 - Camilli Eric / Klinger Nicolas): It was really hard. The car is really good, but I just have the problem with the downshift. It was not really so difficult.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): It was not so bad, it was the grip, I lost more at the end.
flash info (17 - Bouffier Bryan / Bellotto Victor): It’s ok, we have to take a bit safe. Not bad start. I had four supersoft. Not bad, good.
flash info (8 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): It was not so bad, but after 5 kms I touch a big rock and I think I have a puncture with this. But for the first stage, not bad.
flash info (16 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was good, no big drama’s, struggling with the grip but that is how it is. We are just driving and trying to enjoy. The conditions are not easy and struggling with the grip.
flash info (12 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): Actually beginning was not so bad but at the end there was a lot of snow pulled on the road, really tricky. But I think we have a good rhythm, so not so bad.
flash info (10 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Just taking it very easy, trying to feel our way into the conditions. One corner in 6 or 7 just throws you off.
flash info (4 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): Just confidence, in some places, was very slippery but I did not attack too much. I feel in the car we did not drive very well. Everything is different and it is really difficult.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): The conditions were quite tricky. My gravel notes were perfect but I struggled a bit. Now in stage mode I struggle a bit to understand my pace notes. It's going to take some time to get used to that.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I got a lot of fog on the windscreen from the mid-stage so it was difficult to see. Dirty, the mud is coming onto the road so it is very slippery.
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): The car is really good, really good feeling, but I had a spin near the start of the stage, on a hairpin. I dug in on the inside and I maybe lost 7 or 8 seconds. 7 or 8 seconds is not going to lose this rally so I am happy.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): It was an good start, considering I was 50 seconds behind on this stage last year, it is a big improvement. Some black ice in places and some really tricky conditions.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Seb had a great stage, he had been driving really well. I did not take any risk. I would have been able to push more, it was not as slippery as I was afraid. I am happy for the start of the rally.
(7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): spun
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was very cautious, The conditions are not too bad but some places are very slippery. For sure I could go faster, but I am here.
First part of stage is dry, then conditions are mixture of wet and damp. With temperature below zero, lot of chances for ice.
