20 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Before the rally it was looking tough. Yesterday night it was looking quite bad and then we managed to do it. Definitely one of my hardest victories ever - we had to fight and we had a lot of problems. I had to heat the brakes just before the finish line to make sure Seb opens the road in Sardegna.
02. 06. 2019 13:39
02. 06. 2019 14:39 CET
20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had put a hard tyre on the stage but we were waiting too long at the start. Coming here after our huge crash in Chile and having such a good feeling in the car is great.

02. 06. 2019 14:17 CET
20 (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It looks like Kris cut a right-hand corner too much and damaged the steering, throwing him off into the bank on the other side of the road. A tow truck is en-route to move his car out of the way.
02. 06. 2019 13:14
02. 06. 2019 14:14 CET
20 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Crash of Meeke is kind of bad news because I wasn't planning on opening the road in Sardegna.
02. 06. 2019 13:14

20 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): The pace was really good on Friday. In the end, quite a good result and maybe some points from the power stage.
02. 06. 2019 13:12
02. 06. 2019 14:12 CET
20 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): He's still stopped after the stage. Looks like he might not be able to make it back to the finish with his suspension damage.
02. 06. 2019 13:12
02. 06. 2019 14:12 CET
20 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The start was alright really, not perfect by all means but we found a good pace. Unfortunately a small issue put an unfortunate spin on events. There's not much you can do from four-minutes down.
02. 06. 2019 13:11
02. 06. 2019 14:11 CET
20 Stage is restarded.

02. 06. 2019 14:11 CET
20 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been a tough weekend. The most important thing is that the car was fast and we had the speed. I hope I will get a fair time for the power stage.
02. 06. 2019 12:52
02. 06. 2019 13:52 CET
20 Officials are moving his Fiesta as far away from the stage as possible. It looks like the suspension broke before the landing, making Gus a passenger as soon as the car landed.
02. 06. 2019 12:52
02. 06. 2019 13:52 CET
20 The stage has been stopped whilst Greensmith's car is moved off the stage. Both crew are out of the car. Jari-Matti Latvala is driving through the stage none competitively.

20 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I braked too late on a tarmac corner and hit something.
02. 06. 2019 12:43
02. 06. 2019 13:43 CET
20 (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Seb runs wide on a right-hander and loses a few seconds. The rear left wheel is moving around which suggests he has some suspension damage. Dropping a lot of time now as he limps to the finish.
02. 06. 2019 12:43
02. 06. 2019 13:43 CET
20 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was nice - I tried to push and I tried to enjoy. It will be difficult to do a really good time because the stage is cleaning all of the time.
02. 06. 2019 12:38
02. 06. 2019 13:38 CET
20 flash info (23 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Big thanks to the team - everything has been going well and they have worked really hard to get the car finished.
02. 06. 2019 12:38
02. 06. 2019 13:38 CET
20 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): It means a lot to the team. They did a really great job because the rally was so rough. Thanks to them for the car and we are already looking forward to Sardegna.
02. 06. 2019 12:37
02. 06. 2019 13:37 CET
20 flash info (21 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I had some bad noise in my front suspension after my first pass here. We are through now and I am happy with the way we have improved over the weekend. We do have some big challenges to overcome if we want to fight on the rougher rallies like this one. The first thing we need to solve is the rims; we need new rims.

19 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see. A few points would be nice so let's what is possible.
02. 06. 2019 11:11
02. 06. 2019 12:11 CET
19 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It hooked up at a hairpin. I thought I was round it and just at the last minute it came round. I got caught in my dust and I couldn't get a gear.
02. 06. 2019 11:11
02. 06. 2019 12:11 CET
19 (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): spun
02. 06. 2019 11:04
02. 06. 2019 12:04 CET
19 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): The stages are nice - not really easy as it is fast and narrow. Ok, the car is good so I am enjoying it.
02. 06. 2019 11:03
02. 06. 2019 12:03 CET
19 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We will try for sure but we know that it will be difficult to get a lot of points. Any points we get are good.
02. 06. 2019 11:03
02. 06. 2019 12:03 CET
19 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): Much better now. There wasn't any dust so I felt good to drive through the stage.
02. 06. 2019 11:03
02. 06. 2019 12:03 CET
19 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Obviously we started the morning okay but these last couple we're crawling through really. We might have a bit of a go on the Wolf power stage.
02. 06. 2019 11:02
02. 06. 2019 12:02 CET
19 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Much better today compared to yesterday... I mean this morning.
02. 06. 2019 11:02
02. 06. 2019 12:02 CET
19 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): I think I've learned the most today. Cleaning the road makes things quite obvious and you see things in the notes that maybe should have been there. The second pass is always hard to judge exactly where the grip is.
02. 06. 2019 10:56
02. 06. 2019 11:56 CET
17 flash info (21 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The car is like a trampoline actually! I always love this one. I've never been so slow in this stage as I am in the R5, so there's plenty of time to look at the people.
02. 06. 2019 10:56
02. 06. 2019 11:56 CET
17 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): This stage is really amazing. I know we have to just get to the finish so maybe it's not so enjoyable but we are doing our best to have fun in the car.
02. 06. 2019 10:55
02. 06. 2019 11:55 CET
17 flash info (23 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's not fun to drive with a one-minute gap - it's harder than driving flat out! Today we can enjoy the stages and have fun.
02. 06. 2019 10:55
02. 06. 2019 11:55 CET
17 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I had to push a bit but for us it's important to keep the margin with Thierry. I see Kris was faster than Thierry as well so everything is good.
02. 06. 2019 10:55
02. 06. 2019 11:55 CET
17 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): The most important thing is a Toyota 1-2. After that, okay. I'm just trying to do my job but it's important to keep the gap to Thierry. It's up to Ott to do what he wants to do.
02. 06. 2019 10:54
02. 06. 2019 11:54 CET
17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That was not a perfect stage for me. The rear was sliding too much and it was more slippery than I expected.
02. 06. 2019 10:54
02. 06. 2019 11:54 CET
17 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I was enjoying the car. I just want to have fun to drive before Sardegna.

02. 06. 2019 11:53 CET
17 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It's a very nice stage. Not easy when you arrive here for the first time as it's quite tricky and very fast.
02. 06. 2019 10:53
02. 06. 2019 11:53 CET
17 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Not really pushing - there is only one stage we need to push still.
02. 06. 2019 10:53
02. 06. 2019 11:53 CET
17 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I went wide and hit a bank. I don't know if we can carry on.
02. 06. 2019 10:52
02. 06. 2019 11:52 CET
17 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): I tried to have a good stage but we need to improve to catch Lappi.
02. 06. 2019 10:52
02. 06. 2019 11:52 CET
17 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's such a fantastic stage to drive. Obviously it's good to get your eye in on these big jumps before the power stage but e everything is ok.
02. 06. 2019 10:52
02. 06. 2019 11:52 CET
17 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a really nice stage. I did a bit of work with the notes during the recce. The beginning was a bit slippery but after that it got a bit better.
02. 06. 2019 10:52
02. 06. 2019 11:52 CET
17 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It's a great stage, it is one of the best definitely. I just wanted to take it clean and tidy to make sure everything is right and we will push this afternoon.

02. 06. 2019 11:35 CET
16 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Yeah, it's ok. As long as we are faster than Thierry it's good.
02. 06. 2019 10:35
02. 06. 2019 11:35 CET
16 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): It's important to put the gap in this morning. I spoke to Tommi [Makinen] this morning and he said to push on this first one.
02. 06. 2019 10:35
02. 06. 2019 11:35 CET
16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): There was a lot of dust I pushed very hard. It's not easy but my pacenotes were very good so I was quite confident.
02. 06. 2019 10:35
02. 06. 2019 11:35 CET
16 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Conditions were very bad. There's a lot of dust in the stage so it was very tricky.
02. 06. 2019 10:34
02. 06. 2019 11:34 CET
16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was driving like road mode.
02. 06. 2019 10:34
02. 06. 2019 11:34 CET
16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I started to spin on the hairpin and the inside bank just turned us over. I need to check the car.
02. 06. 2019 10:34
02. 06. 2019 11:34 CET
16 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): continue
02. 06. 2019 10:33
02. 06. 2019 11:33 CET
16 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): Really difficult to drive but we are finished and the car is ok.
02. 06. 2019 10:33
02. 06. 2019 11:33 CET
16 (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): rolled
02. 06. 2019 10:32
02. 06. 2019 11:32 CET
16 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The dust is so bad in here. I was virtually stopped in a really fast place in the back there. Just impossible to see between the trees.
02. 06. 2019 10:32
02. 06. 2019 11:32 CET
16 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The dust is surprisingly bad. It was not easy and I wonder if it is getting worse and worse with the cars.
02. 06. 2019 10:32
02. 06. 2019 11:32 CET
16 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): I decided that I've been last on the road, I've been middle of the road, and I needed to get the experience of being first on the road so here I am today! It was meant to happen. I'm driving a WRC car - how can that not be enjoyable?
02. 06. 2019 10:31
02. 06. 2019 11:31 CET
16 (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Dani and Seb have not started the stage on their expected times. It looks as if they may both slot in behind Ogier and ahead of Neuville, just like they did yesterday.
02. 06. 2019 10:29
02. 06. 2019 11:29 CET
16 2-minutes between our WRC runners on the first stage this morning, 3-minute intervals for the rest of the day.
02. 06. 2019 10:28
02. 06. 2019 11:28 CET
16 A little cooler than previous days, current temperatures are around 22°C with blue skies all around.
01. 06. 2019 18:29
01. 06. 2019 19:29 CET
13 flash info (23 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was good. On this loop we made an optimistic tyre choice so the tyres are quite done! I have to say, the second loop in these cars is quite rough so it's not so nice to drive fast.
01. 06. 2019 18:28
01. 06. 2019 19:28 CET
13 flash info (24 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): This loop was not so good for us because I forgot to close the bonnet and it came open. This one was okay but almost rolled when I missed a braking point. We are very lucky.
01. 06. 2019 18:28
01. 06. 2019 19:28 CET
13 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Front right damper broken.
01. 06. 2019 18:28
01. 06. 2019 19:28 CET
13 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I had a warning light off the startline and every time I pulled the handbrake the car stalled so we dropped a couple of seconds in the first splits. I've never driven so hard in my life.
01. 06. 2019 18:27
01. 06. 2019 19:27 CET
13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried to give it everything. It was not a trouble-free run for us - we were smelling a lot of water but the car is okay.
01. 06. 2019 18:27
01. 06. 2019 19:27 CET
13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): You have to keep in the lines.
01. 06. 2019 18:27
01. 06. 2019 19:27 CET
13 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): spun
01. 06. 2019 18:26
01. 06. 2019 19:26 CET
13 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): I tried my best to keep my car on the road and not make any mistakes. For sure, it's not so fun to drive the car in these conditions but we did what we had to do today.
01. 06. 2019 18:26
01. 06. 2019 19:26 CET
13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The feeling was not as great as this morning but it was not a bad day anyway. It's a short day tomorrow so we shouldn't lose too much there.
01. 06. 2019 18:26
01. 06. 2019 19:26 CET
13 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): We had an optimistic target this afternoon. Okay - quite an okay loop and I am happy with how it went.
01. 06. 2019 18:26
01. 06. 2019 19:26 CET
13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's been a really good day. I've been enjoying a lot and the car is really good for me now. I think the tyre choice could have been better for this as it was too sandy. Okay, we are here and we will push tomorrow.
01. 06. 2019 18:25
01. 06. 2019 19:25 CET
13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The first one was very very tricky. It's hot in the car this afternoon.

01. 06. 2019 17:05 CET
11 (24 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): Jan Kopecky takes a heavy landing over the same jump which nearly ended Latvala's rally. His bonnet comes up on impact.
01. 06. 2019 16:04
01. 06. 2019 17:04 CET
11 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had a small impact and the front feels a bit soft. We need to check the front dampers. I took it easy so that we could finish the stage and check the car.
01. 06. 2019 16:04
01. 06. 2019 17:04 CET
11 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I think Ogier took an option with mediums and I was expecting him to be quicker in there as it was more medium territory. I had a good stage.
01. 06. 2019 16:04
01. 06. 2019 17:04 CET
11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): This is the most slippery stage so with the hard tyres it's maybe not perfect. I had a good stage, I was just kicked out of the ruts a few times by big rocks in the road.
01. 06. 2019 16:03
01. 06. 2019 17:03 CET
11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I was concentrating on trying to push but I am surprised at the time of Ogier.
01. 06. 2019 16:03
01. 06. 2019 17:03 CET
11 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): It was okay for us - no problems in the stage. Nothing to say.
01. 06. 2019 16:02
01. 06. 2019 17:02 CET
11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's a challenge! We'll see what happens at the end.
01. 06. 2019 16:02
01. 06. 2019 17:02 CET
11 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): That's okay. Hopefully we can find some more pace.
01. 06. 2019 16:01
01. 06. 2019 17:01 CET
11 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): The ruts were really big but you could carry quite a lot of speed into them. Trying to find out exactly how much speed you can carry into them was something new but it was getting better and better as the stage went on. I enjoyed that.
01. 06. 2019 16:01
01. 06. 2019 17:01 CET
11 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Very rough! So much heat through the tyres - I was not expecting this.
01. 06. 2019 16:01

11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Just impossible to be honest - the ruts are so narrow you can't get it turned in anywhere. So difficult, so polluted.

10 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good stage for us. The soft road worked very well for me because I was using the ruts. Let's see.
01. 06. 2019 12:39
01. 06. 2019 13:39 CET
10 flash info (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian): I've been enjoying it. This time last year I was on my way to hospital and out of a job, so it's pretty good in that respect.
01. 06. 2019 12:38
01. 06. 2019 13:38 CET
10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I had a good stage. Obviously taking a second spare wheel was not the best decision this morning but I kept a good speed. The four-minute gap is working.
01. 06. 2019 12:38
01. 06. 2019 13:38 CET
10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It's quite slippery. Difficult to choose a line - I don't know if I need to drive more or less aggressively. Not easy.
01. 06. 2019 12:38
01. 06. 2019 13:38 CET
10 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): There's a lot of sand in the stage. It was quite tricky but, okay, I'm not pushing. It's always more difficult when you drive like this.
01. 06. 2019 12:37
01. 06. 2019 13:37 CET
10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Now they are quite far behind Neuville's road position. For sure, it's starting to play a big part as we have seen with Toyota this morning. I'm doing everything I can.

01. 06. 2019 13:37 CET
10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): Just went too fast into a hairpin and stalled the engine. We had the same problem again at the start of the stage with the car cutting out. Pretty good though - it's fun.

01. 06. 2019 13:37 CET
10 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think we will go to the Dakar next year - we have good experience after this stage! It's very soft and we get a lot of sand in the car.

8 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's okay. I knew I had to take a hard tyre so in some of the soft places it was understeering a little bit. Everything is okay now that the hard stages are coming up.

01. 06. 2019 10:52 CET

01. 06. 2019 09:52
01. 06. 2019 10:52 CET
8 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It's nice to be on stages that I know. The dust is getting worse and worse, especially towards the end. This is where I wanted to be today - more in the fight.

01. 06. 2019 10:52 CET
8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I couldn't see anything so I needed to stop. Already in the open parts I started to have the dust. 3-minutes intervals is not enough.

6 flash info (23 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I had a puncture out of nowhere in the last stage. The stages are much more rough than I was expecting so you can't drive flat out all the time. We're trying to take some time out of Kopecky but we don't have any spare pairs left, so we need to be careful.

31. 05. 2019 17:28
31. 05. 2019 18:28 CET
6 flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko): We had no brakes at all. I can not do anything with this car. Maybe I hit something but I didn't feel anything. A car without brakes is very difficult to drive.
31. 05. 2019 17:28
31. 05. 2019 18:28 CET
6 flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I stalled the engine on a hairpin. It took quite a long time to get it started again. It's very disappointing but it is what it is. Let's see what Teemu does.
31. 05. 2019 17:27
31. 05. 2019 18:27 CET
6 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): Difficult. We had another problem in the stage. When we were on the fast sections the engine was not working but on the other places it was fine. There's nothing to play for now so it's frustrating for the team.
31. 05. 2019 17:27
31. 05. 2019 18:27 CET

31. 05. 2019 17:22
31. 05. 2019 18:22 CET

31. 05. 2019 18:19 CET
4 flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel): We try to push because I think it's only these afternoon stages where we can go fast. Tomorrow we will be cleaning the road for everybody.

31. 05. 2019 18:18 CET

31. 05. 2019 18:17 CET
