#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE

“It was a challenging day. We’ve been fighting in tough conditions, very hot weather, but we have been consistent, despite the problems we had. The approach was to follow our speed and not get mad if we lost time. We had some technical issues, but the guys solved it.”

#17 Sébastien OGIER / Vincent LANDAIS

“In stage 5, suddendly 4 km before the finish, the turbo was off. It was not going anywhere. And the altitude made it even worse.”

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA

“Really demanding, great day. And we are grateful to come through without any drama. This is very positive for us, but we know there is still a long way to go. There's still a lot to do. The car was better in the last stage, but there isn’t only the performance. Important is also the reliability to bring the car home.”

#33 Elfyn EVANS / Scott MARTIN

“Mostly we preserve the car. The conditions were pretty rough out there today. We try some things, we are not where we want to be.”

#6 Daniel SORDO / Cándido CARRERA

“It was a positive day. Honestly we didn’t take risks to break something, but the times were good. It was really hot in the car. It’s demanding.”

#13 Grégoire MUNSTER / Louis LOUKA

“We lost the handbrake again. The stages are very rough and twisty and without it it’s very hard to turn. I will try to be in the top 5 tomorrow.”
