#69 Kalle ROVANPERÄ / Jonne HALTTUNEN 

“Not good. It’s very slippery. To be first in this stage is not easy. Very low grip. I will try to do my best.”

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA

“Nobody cares about the balance of the car if you can’t see anything. We knew this was going to happen.”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE

“You have no visibility! You are in 5th gear and suddenly you see nothing. We knew this would happen, we asked for 4 minutes gaps, but nobody did something.”

#33 Elfyn EVANS Scott MARTIN 

“With the dust it is difficult to see and find the right rhythm.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA / Aaron JOHNSTON

“In some places I couldn’t see. And also my pacenotes are not so good.”

#42 Craig BREEN / Paul NAGLE 

“The dust is very bad in some places. But it was OK stage for us.”

#4 Esapekka LAPPI / Janne FERM

“Everything is good. The dust is an issue. But it’s the same for everyone except Kalle. Otherwise it was a clean stage for us.”

#19 Sébastien LOEB / Isabelle GALMICHE

“Good stage for us, but not easy. The sun and the dust are making it difficult, and also the fact that it is slippery. Also the brakes are overheating a bit, but there is no problem.”

#6 Dani SORDO / Candido CARRERA

“It was really bad. There is a lot of hanging dust. In the tarmac section we were a little bit off in a corner. Really bad.”

#44 Gus GREENSMITH / Jonas ANDERSSON

“After the first 6 kilometers we hit the dust and there was no visibility.”

#7 Pierre-Louis LOUBET / Vincent LANDAIS 

“Good stage for us. Difficult with the dust, but we managed it.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS / Frederic MICLOTTE 

“The dust is a problem. We lost some time. Otherwise I liked the stage a lot.”
