HIGHLIGHTS
Well established in provisional third place at the start of the race, Thierry Neuville encountered big problems with his Hyundai in the last part of the special. Lacking power on his Hyundai, the Belgian lost around forty seconds even though there will be no assistance today.
In this special with a profile similar to the previous one, Elfyn Evans signs a first scratch and takes the opportunity to take the lead, seven tenths ahead of Ott Tänak while Thierry Neuville largely retains his provisional third place despite his problems.
Far from this trio, Takamoto Katsuta took the advantage of Adrien Fourmaux for provisional fourth place.
In WRC2, Nikolay Gryazin scored a third consecutive scratch while Sami Pajari recovered well after his puncture in SS3.

PILOT REACTIONS

T. Neuville 10:30.5 |
I don't know what's going on, I have no power. |
|
O. Thank you 9:52.9 |
This is not good news (Neuville problems). |
|
E.Evans 9:49.7 |
It's complicated. It's still very difficult to read the grip. Everything is fine overall. |
|
S. Ogier 9:52.7 |
I have no idea what happened up front but for me it's unfortunately not about the championship. It was a near disaster start to the race but what else can we do to fight, there was a lot of pressure going into this event. |
|
A.Fourmaux 10:04.9 |
I'm just having trouble with the car. In slow corners the car doesn't turn and in fast corners it moves a lot so it's not precise. I just keep the car on the road. We have to discuss it with the team, we can do things. |
|
T.Katsuta 9:57.5 |
We'll see how it goes for everyone. Of course, we never give up, but the situation is not very good at the moment. We don't attack much and we lose the feeling in the car. |
|
G.Munster 10:15.1 |
There was slippery braking that I didn't have in my notes, and I was forced to spin to avoid hitting a wall. I lost a bit of time and struggled with my tire choice and the front of the car. |
|
A. Mikkelsen 10:02.5 |
I'm not very confident in these conditions, it's also tricky with the positions on the road because you never really know what it's going to be like. We have to attack more, but we'll see, I don't have the feeling yet. |
|
S. Pajari 10:24.0 |
It could have been better! We also saw deer in the special stage before in a straight line. A lot has happened already, but so far, so good. |
|
N.Gryazin 10:22.1 |
I can't say it's complicated, compared to last year it's much easier. Some places where drivers touch the side of the road are quite dirty. |
