flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Super sandy, a lot of sand coming into the car. Not so easy but good fun, a lot of wheel spin.
flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): We are enjoying a lot, after the recce I didn't expect it. There are big rocks, we are trying to involve the risky rocks. We are happy, we are improving, the gap is less and less stage by stage. It's really fun, the stages are beautiful and now the long stages continue for the rest of the day.
flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): I'm sure everyone is saying how soft it is compared to the rest of the rally, we didn't want to miss any of the braking points as it is downhill towards a junction so it is difficult for us. It suits our driving style a bit more, it's all about getting experience here.
flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): On the first one the feeling is not like yesterday, but on this one I drive very well. I need to focus on my traction, I think everybody says the same. We are fighting for sure and we need to close the gap.
flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Feeling is the same, really sandy stage but if you take the car in the line it is good surface under the sand. It is difficult to be so precise on these sandy parts.
flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): I can imagine Rossel is fast, we need to focus on the race. We are running quite a clever race at the moment. It is quite demanding for us, we need to keep it in the road and be clever.
flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): Nothing special. Sandy stage, we have some issue but now it is okay. Strange sounds from the suspension. I think we know what it is. I can't tell you of course!
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Bit similar to Virves, super slippery, it is challenging to do a good stage at least, the feeling is like that. Not very happy with the stage.
flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): The stage was very sandy, felt like we were all the time off the line. Not a good stage from us, maybe not such a good run. We are quicker on splits? Maybe it is quite the same for everybody.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): The plan is to arrive to tyre fitting zone. We just need to arrive somewhere; there is nothing to fight for.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): I was working on the car before and I hit my head! I was thinking in case I need to change the wheel during the stage, I can't put the jack in. I was playing a little bit and bump. EKO Acropolis Rally Greece! I didn't want to lose a lot of time.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are on full hards compound, we took the safer choice this morning. Also looking forward to tomorrow when we don't know what tyres will be best. Obviously trying to enjoy the car more than yesterday, we changed the setup and it is much better. Back to my standard setup which is easier to drive.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It is not fun to drive this stage, it is like driving on the beach. Full of sand everywhere, fighting to turn the car everywhere.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's quite sandy, so very low grip. We had a small impact on the front in the beginning, there was a lot of dust and I think the air filter is quite blocked.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It seems very difficult to get into the line, it's so soft and so difficult to get the car to rotate.
flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): We did it in the Greek championship, so I know it quite well. It's nice, a lot of sand. Some cleaning, but some fun.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I was searching, there was so much sand I thought I was driving on a beach. Really slow, sometimes good grip, sometimes nothing. Definitely a lot of sweeping.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a lot of cleaning, bit different type of cleaning as it is more sandy and very soft in places. There is no rain at all, so crazy amount of cleaning.
