INFORMATION ABOUT SS 15
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been pretty okay. Getting caught in the rain in the previous one was not nice and we were maybe too careful in some places, but it was always going to be a bit tricky to judge with such a big gap.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's been a good day for us and we are happy to be at the end. We don't know what sort of surprises are going to wait for us tomorrow.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Not the easiest day with the conditions. We thought it would be a bit more dry and it's been a long day driving without any risks.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was afraid that I couldn't get the hard tyres up to temperature for the beginning. Maybe it was the wrong choice, but it was safer like this.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I really like this stage. It's very high-speed but the pinecones and the needles are making so much mess and it's not so easy to find the correct line.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I have no hybrid, so we need to investigate it in service. If there was one stage today where you need some hybrid push, it was this one!
