INFORMATION ABOUT SS 14
Stage was stopped.
retired (73 - Blach Roberto / Barreiro Mauro): accident in SS 14
retired (62 - Borodin Petr / Cheprassov Roman): accident in SS 14
(46 - Peralta Juan Carlos / Pérez Víctor): puncture
flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): We had a puncture in the beginning, it is not because there is a stone, it is just my mistake. On the recce I passed the corner and noted there were stones, but on the corner there were big big stones, I tried to pass clean and it hit immediately hard. After that there was a puncture, we tried to move again. There was nothing to lose for us, it was quite fun. I was not trying to save the tyres because we have a second spare. One stage to go.
(44 - Soylu Uğur / Güray Şener): puncture
flash info (22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): We didn't hit anything, there were some big stones on the road and I think there were some issues with that. It is what it is, very rough stage so it will be interesting on the next loop.
(22 - Joona Lauri / Mannisenmäki Ville): puncture
flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I'm in the middle of nowhere in the standings so there is no sense in taking some risks, it is so muddy and so easy to make mistakes so I decided to just pass through.
flash info (32 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca): Yesterday I saw that my first damage of the year was the bumper, then I hit a wall in some muddy place. This was my first time with the car in proper mud. I was slow but fast and the car started sliding on four wheels, I don't know how but we've done it!
flash info (26 - McErlean Joshua / Fulton James): We actually spun halfway through on a water splash which wasn't so clearly marked. It was a fast corner but we saved it. It is not a bad time considering. Did you expect these conditions? At the start of the week, no, last night, yes. It's always interesting to see different conditions.
flash info (30 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It's quite a rough stage, really destroyed almost everywhere. Thdere is one uphill section in the forest, really narrow, really tricky with a lot of mud. Time is a bit of a surprise because the feeling was not so good but OK. We will go for the Wolf Power Stage.
flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): Just caught out by one place that was unbelievably muddy and slippery, fast corner and I went two gears slower. The car wouldn't react or do anything, we were just passengers. We had a front and rear left puncture, but everything else seems to be working.
(25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): rolled
flash info (29 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): We continue like we are on Safari, the gap is quite big, I hope it is enough. There is no fun on these stages, you are driving on a straight road trying to avoid the big rocks. On the other side I love this.
flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I think maybe the gap is a bit too big, but everything can happen on these stages. The grip changed a lot, without gravel it is so difficult. It is not easy on muddy section to have good speed and you don't know if you are first or not, but everything is still possible.
flash info (28 - Virves Robert / Lesk Aleks): Hard to say, I tried to drive fast when everything feels fine but I am struggling quite a lot, I can't really find the rhythm with the notes. We are pushing all the time, when everything is working I see no reason to push too. Let's see how the other guys come.
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): I was quite happy with the speed on the first stage of the morning, this one was super, super tricky. Let's say it's fine. Very tricky so I am just happy to be clean.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is destroyed, it's a nightmare. I was so careful in there. Just trying to avoid any problems. The risk is not worth it not at the moment.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It was very difficult in places, there is a really fast place with lots of mud there. We are driving with no risk, we are fighting for third place, Tänak is a little bit back. If nothing happens, we can meet our target today.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): The whole weekend was feeling good, I have a great car and could do what I wanted. The misfortune is hard, two and a half minutes lost due to a turbo issue. That's Greece rally. Now we have to recover and the Wolf Power Stage will be important for sure.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not too much stories to tell. Took it safely through, very tricky one. The engine is not perfect so now we go to service.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very difficult conditions, luckily we recce'd it in the rain a few years ago, so we had an idea of the rain in a few places. Target is get through the day and do the best job for ourselves and the team.
flash info (19 - Serderidis Jourdan / Miclotte Fréderic): It's drying a lot, for the next stage it could be much better. We were in the mud and we were very slow. There were a lot of stones and we had a puncture at the end.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's incredible how quickly the grip level is changing, some places is dry or really muddy. I saw so many lines from Taka, where it was crazy. We had a clean stage, I didn't take any risks. A lot of mud.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's very tricky conditions, obviously bright sunshine so it is drying up under the sun quite a lot but under the trees it is so hard to know what is muddy and what is not. On the muddy sections there is zero grip, so not nice.
