Information de la ES 16
(30 - Kamada Takuma / Matsumoto Yuichi): puncture
(24 - Cachon Alejandro / Rozada Borja): spun
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): Clean drive. Conditions were better now. In the first stage, we had heavy rain at the start and lost a lot there. Hopefully we don't get hit too much by this weather and mother nature like it was in Paraguay. We need to win this day and win the rally.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The grip was very high, so it's quite difficult to find the limit because you can carry more speed. There was room to be more brave.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): Not thinking about the podium too much. Tricky stages still to do, anything can happen till the last meters. Trying to keep this steady pace and that's it.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I was far too positive about the tyres in the last one. I knew the step, a small clip and.. with the recce tyres it was good, but with the rally tyres it was not.
(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): It's very difficult. It's not the rain tyre, can go straight into the bin. Just playing poker with the water, just at some point the grip is there and then it disappears. It's about how much risk you take.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Quite okay. Obviously others have done this stage last year, new for me. Not easy with the notes. The time seems quite bad compared to Taka. We can try to learn from it.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Not so bad, quite consistent grip. A few surprises. Compared to the first run a bit easier. Just tried to keep it on the road. All okay.
