INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
retired (21 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): retired in SS 5
flash info (22 - Bulacia Marco / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It's good. I thought we were going to be slower because I was struggling a lot to find the right technique for this stage because it's very different compared to the other ones.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Fix is a big word, but at least it's driveable! The pipe was broken. I was able to glue it, but still we have to refill oil every time and we couldn't do it in one. It's not easy - some electrical issues make it even more difficult.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): We had two slow punctures and I have no spare wheel, so I was careful.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It wasn’t too bad, but I had some understeer in the dirty parts. On the dry, it was better with the hard [compound tyres]. I was a bit careful in some places, but it's not a bad stage and for sure I was enjoying a lot.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's a little bit strange because some places you have a lot of grip where it is wet, but when it is like this there's no grip at all. The time is not so bad but I was not really happy.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Difficult still...
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): I had a spin quite early on. I turned in a bit too early and it just pulled me round. Not a good stage, and I think I had a rear left puncture at the end.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I am just really struggling with the car, no feeling at all. I am doing my best but it's not so enjoyable.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am not surprised to be honest. I can't remember when I have been driving in this difficult conditions on a normal gravel road. The grip was so high in many places that my car just couldn't turn enough.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A few hours before, it would have been really good to be in front [on the road], but now unfortunately it has dried out too much. I struggled with the car - the grip was inconsistent.
Start of stage will be delayed for 15 minutes.
