Stage continues after 11 minutes.
flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): Fourmaux's corner, same corner. Setup changes from yesterday, understeering. Every tight corner, handbrake, every junction, handbrake. It is unbelievable.
flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We are saying about the pace, it feels slow for me, but for this surface it is slippery. We didn't try to overbrake, we tried to stay calm. It is a different kind of surface.
(20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): was out of road
Starting of stage was stopped after car no 30.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very sirty, very tricky so I have to take it steady in those conditions. It is very risky in there, I didn't want to make a mistake to open the day. I did what I have to do, let's see if it's the same on the later stages as it is much dirtier than expected.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It was not the best, but if we lose time it is never good. [The strategy is] to have one hard tyre. It's simple. It's damp now but no one knows how it will be in a couple of hours.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The car feels better today than yesterday, extremely demanding conditions. Bit humid, but it's all wet, so it is a bit tricky. We tried to improve the balance. Very tricky with all the fog, let's see when we get to a clear road.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We need to do as well as possible, it is not easy in these conditions, we were hoping it would be more straightforward today.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): For sure, bit more pollution than expected. The guys in front touched a lot. Stayed on the road, nothing special.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): My story is more simple, I was too careful in many places. I saw many lines off road, I don't know what has been going on but I guess it has been quite tricky. In some places there was a lot of grip and others not anymore, but I am trying to be clever anyway.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We have a huge issue on the front differential that we realised on the road section, I have no drive on the front. It's like driving rear wheel drive all time, as soon as there is dirt it is hard to get it to go straight. It is undriveable. It's like rear wheel drive but only at the front, it is intermittent.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's almost more wet than yesterday in some sections, the grip is changing a lot. Sometimes the beginning of the braking is horrendous and you think you are going to 20m and you go 50m from the apex.
flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): Sometimes damp, foggy, but not so much so it is not catastrophic. Normally it is a sweeping stage, nice one.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): Very tricky stage, changing grip all the time. Not so much the drive for today, looking for Sunday but still trying to keep some rhythm. I touched the rear left on the grass and it spun me around so lost a lot of time with that.
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): was out of road
(9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): spun
Weather on stage is foggy and cloudy, no rain, temperature around 8°C, roads are mixture of dry, damp and wet.
