INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
retired (23 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): retired in SS 5
retired (67 - Filippides Giorgos / Loudon Stuart): accident in SS 5
retired (36 - Tsouloftas Alexandros / Elia Stelios): technical problem - driveshaft in SS 5
flash info (27 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I didn't see, but probably there was a big rock in the line and I was a bit sideways, and it caught the front left. We did the last 6km like that.
(27 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): puncture
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I believe, I don't know details, but it was probably the same issue as Loubet had. We had it, luckily, just going into the tyre fitting zone and we had to take everything apart and clean it and put it back together again. Our road position is not too bad at the moment!
(20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): puncture
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): Very tricky conditions and also, maybe some parts are cleaning a little bit, but other parts become worse with the mud. I was quite happy with the car but it's not easy to make a proper, really nice stage.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very obvious that we have no grip here. It's quite hard to drive. Hopefully the next one should be better for us.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I didn't have time to watch the onboard of this stage, so I didn't have the marks on the pace notes. And the radiator is leaking.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): For sure, Neuville's tyre choice was the right one for there but the rally is very long and we don't have that many softs. It's all about strategy.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Tough to make a choice before the stage which tyres to go with, I said I would go all in. The conditions are tricky in there and what we can take now is good to have for tomorrow. It wasn't a nice stage to be honest, very rough in there and I was crashing through a lot.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Pretty slippy but also quite rough. Quite a lot of unexpected impacts from these water trenches, you just never knew what was coming up next.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): The stage was so horrible. A lot of loose gravel, much more than I was expecting after the rain. Maybe the rain has taken all the sand away and there is only loose stones left. Not easy.
