Car 17. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“Pure lottery. If you have the luck with you, anything can happen.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
Hooked the Toyota and stalled at a hairpin. “I had s stall at a hairpin. It was a bit unexpected. It has
been wild, I would say.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“We are going to try to push now and see what is possible We were so careful in the stage (SS9). We
will try and get back P1 but that depends on Evans getting a problem. We will go flat out.”
Car 69. ROVANPERĀ/HALTTUNEN
“We will see if it was good. I made a lot of mistakes in the first part but I try and do better in the second
pass.”
Car 8. TÄNAK/JARVEOJA
“No intercom in there.”
Car 4. LAPPI/FERM
“This one does not really matter. The long one is quite challenging.”
Car 9. LOEB/ELENA
“This one was good. I trued to push hard. We made a good stage. The first one was very difficult with a
lot of dust. I tried to stay in the middle of the road and had a puncture like the others. That is life. There
is still a long way to go this afternoon.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/EDMONDSON
“It was four or five km and the dust descended (SS9). If it was bad for me, I knew it was bad for
everyone behind. I was driving too much on the bonnet and trying to avoid the rocks and it worked.”
Car 21. TIDEMAND/BARTH
“The first one I was really cruising, a lot of dust and stones everywhere. I just go around it. This stage
was nice. It will be harder – the next one!”
Car 23. BRYNILDSEN/MINOR
Lost eight minutes in SS9.
Car 25. FERNANDEZ/GARCIA
Stopped before the end of SS9 for around 12 minutes before completing the stage.
