INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
retired (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): double puncture after SS 3
retired (41 - Martínez Merizalde Andre / Aranguren Matías): accident in SS 3
retired (57 - Cohen Harold / Gajardo Hugo): accident in SS 3
flash info (26 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): It's difficult to read because the grip is changing corner to corner and this is the main job for the second loop, to see where is slippery and where we can push. We need to do a job in service with the pace notes. I should be hungry, but no we are here. Beautiful stages, amazing atmosphere, lots of fans.
flash info (23 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): To be honest, I don't know if the previous stage has more grip on this one, I nearly had a big moment and had to force myself to slow down in the middle of the stage, I don't know if it is slippery for everyone or just me. I need to change a little bit before the next stage.
flash info (24 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): I didn't have a good run to be honest, lot of distractions but we need to be focussed.
flash info (22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): I got caught in the loose gravel, we hit the bank. I think it's a double puncture, we don't have the second spare so big trouble now.
flash info (21 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): I think it's not easy for sure, I lost a lot of time behind Sesks. I don't know, maybe 5-10sec. It is very challenging for sure.
flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): There is no line to follow, the WRC cars are much wider, so I struggle to find the confidence to stay in the line. I think the cars behind me are much quicker, but it's okay.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): The feeling was not ideal, I tried to stay efficient, as soon as you get wide to get the corner tight, you miss the cambur. We had a moment in a left hander, but all good. At the end it is pretty rough, the grip is not consistent.
(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): changing tyre
(22 - Sesks Mārtiņš / Francis Renārs): hit the bank
(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): All okay, pretty horrible, hard to keep it on the road. I would like to be faster but it is impossible.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite tricky, quite similar to SS2, maybe I was too careful in some places and maybe I should have been more committed or accurate with the throttle in some places. There is a lot of challenge, still so much to learn, it is tricky to judge what speed I am going. Lot of learning to do.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really bad to be honest, I don't feel comfortable at all on these roads. I was expecting it a bit, but when it is dry like this it does not fit my usual driving style. I am fighting the car and my driving a lot.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It's definitely a big challenge being here for the first time, it is quite narrow. With the cuts, they bring in a lot of loose stones. When we have knowledge of the stage it is always good.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Séb didn't hold me up. It's quite tricky to manage, some places are clean, but the loose is coming in.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Unfortunate.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Yeah it looks challenging. It's been a good morning.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It will be a long weekend for us that's for sure, I am fighting. There's not much more we can do. It will be a long weekend for us and we need to focus on ourselves.
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): puncture
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): was out of road
Start will be delayed for 5 minutes.
