flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's quite nice. You can improve every lap a bit, but we started without the handbrake and I had to give some throttle push to make it turn. We are here.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Veillas Benjamin): It was okay. Not an easy stage to start and I was surprised that the grip was very low. Tomorrow looks to be very demanding, I think.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): I must say, it was really tricky. My first time in the wet with this car and I was quite steady. We need to keep going.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was not fully dark, so not so easy to see. At the same time, these anti-cut devices are reflecting a lot and in some corners I couldn't really see anything. Everything is fine, I was just a bit steady because it didn't feel so good.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think there was a lot of people but I'm not sure. It was a bit on the edge whether the lights are really showing you anything or not, but all good. A nice stage.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I didn't have any feeling on this stage. It was a difficult one for me but, okay, the real start is tomorrow.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was a bit challenging. There was not too much water but it's just wet enough to not get the temperature into the tyres. Very sketchy in places but we made it through.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was not the greatest stage. I don't know about the tyres - I think it was in between the wet and the soft, and I decided to go to the soft at the very last moment. The anti-cuts are reflecting from the lights so you can't see very well, but we had a clean run through.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I had an overshoot at one of the junctions - just locked up under braking. It's a shame for that.
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): missed junction
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Definitely it was not so wet anymore. We expected a bit of rain here, so let's hope it's not drying up for the others much more. As long we are on an okay pace with Elfyn, that's fine for me.
Starting order: Rovanperä, Evans, Neuville, Tänak, Ogier, Lappi, Katsuta, Suninen, Loubet, Munster, Cais, Mikkelsen, Rossel...
Weather in Klatovy is cloudy, roads are damp after previous rain, but getting dry.
