INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9
(66 - Nešetřil Petr / Černoch Jiří): was out of road
retired (56 - Schwarz Fabio / Ettel Bernhard): retired in SS 9
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think it was quite a good start. We started with quite a careful pace, nothing too much, and for sure the guys are pushing. Let's just try to make the day through with a good feeling a keep the gaps well.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was a bit of rain, but not too much. I am still struggling a bit with the handling in general. Towards the end on a lot of long corners I do not have the confidence to commit and carry on through. Now we will make some small changes to see what we can do.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Like always in these conditions, there are always places where you could go better but it felt okay. It's tricky to always find the balance.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's a bit less wet, still very tricky in places with many grip changes. It's not much easier.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Most of the sections were big surprises because after the gravel crews the gravel is coming more and more. There were a lot of surprises on the pace notes, it's not so nice.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's still not a great stage for me, but it's okay. It's still getting pretty dirty after a few cars so we will try to get a decent rhythm. Today I feel a little bit better so I have to try to make a better day.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was bad driving. I missed one 90-degree junction. It was just one slippy corner and after that I didn't have the confidence to push.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I was a tiny bit too late on the brakes and I had to go straight on and pull the handbrake, a bit in the grass.
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): missed junction
Weather in Passau is semi-cloudy, roads are wet.
