INFORMATION ABOUT SS 10
retired (28 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): retired after SS 10
retired (72 - Kimathi McRae / Loudon Stuart): retired in SS 10
(32 - Cais Erik / Těšínský Petr): puncture
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty okay. It's slippery out there and there's a fine balance between pushing too much and not enough. With the surface being so slippery it's hard to find the balance.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It seems to be close then! I just tried to start the morning well, but it was slippier in here than I expected. I was maybe not clean enough in places - I was wide here and there - but with the second spare wheel, it was tricky.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I have full soft tyres for this stage and it was moving a little bit with not a lot of grip. I tried to do my best but I am quite happy with the car. I am trying to keep the other drivers behind.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I'm quite surprised. I was just trying to have a clean run, but the car is working very well and the engineers did a great job.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It happened towards the beginning.
(44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): puncture
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We had a spin and the feeling wasn't good. I don't know, I was sliding everywhere.
(7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): spun
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It felt good. Obviously I have one hard tyre on the car which is not optimal for this stage, but I had a very good stage.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I struggled with the front of the car. I had two hards on the front and I couldn't get a rhythm at all.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): The conditions are really nice and I was enjoying the stage. To have an eight-time world champion starting in front of me is interesting - the lines are quite good, so I need to follow them for the next one.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): In the end, it doesn't really matter. We are early on the road and softs seem to be an okay choice.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): So far so good with the tyre choice. We will see at the end of the loop, but we tried to drive, otherwise it's a bit annoying when you don't have any targets.
flash info (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Galmiche Isabelle): Very difficult and much more humid than I expected. Our tyre choice is not good - I had two hards and that was not the best I think. Okay, we are here.
