HIGHLIGHTS
In a special with less thick fog, but with more rain, Kalle Rovanperä confirms her superiority in these conditions against Elfyn Evans. The Finn therefore won this first part of the rally ahead of the Welshman and Ott Tänak. The latter should score only three points more than Thierry Neuville, fourth this evening.
Already author of the scratch in the last special of the first day, Adrien Fourmaux did it again in this time and confirms his fifth place ahead of Pajari and Munster.
In WRC2, tomorrow promises to be superb with Nikolay Gryazin leading by around fifteen seconds ahead of the Greensmith/Rossel duo. The latter nevertheless awaits a correction of his time in the 11 after having been hampered by Solberg.

The conditions are crazy. The steering wheel is a little hard at times and it’s a little scary. |
|
A.Fourmaux 17:17.3 |
It’s pretty crazy with the fog and now the rain. It’s hard to know what the best tire choice was. The grip changes all the time with hard tires. I’m happy with our day. We are fifth now, we will see what happens after us. |
|
E.Lapp 17;49.8 |
I’ve tried a few different things, but I can’t do it. |
|
T.Neuville 17:26.8 |
We did exactly what we needed to do today. We did as much as we could. We didn’t ride at 100%, I could have done a little better, but I think it was impossible to catch Ott. |
|
G.Munster 17:41.6 |
I didn’t have a good feeling with the car. The fog was less annoying than in the previous time, but it was constant. It feels like we’re in Wales, it’s very different from last year. |
|
S. Pajari 17:35.9 |
You always want to go a little faster, but it’s so tricky that it’s smarter to be careful to finish the rally. I would like to be faster, but it requires more confidence. |
|
K. Rovanperä 17:18.1 |
I’m struggling in this special, which was already the case last year. I can’t manage the tires well here, I had to be gentler with them, even if it’s raining. I don’t know if our strategy was the right one. The conditions are really difficult. I think it was one of the most difficult stages of the year. We just drive to stay on the road. |

O. Thank you 17:30.9 |
We weren’t expecting rain this evening and there shouldn’t be any fog. We didn’t have the right information at all! Everything is difficult in this life, but you have to give it your all. |
|
E.Evans 17:27.7 |
More commitment this time, I felt good this morning in this special, but I didn’t have the same sensations this time. Difficult conditions, we weren’t good enough. |
| O.Solberg | This is the first time this weekend that I’ve really tried to attack. I hit every rock possible and didn’t have a puncture. I don’t know what happened in the time before and I had a slow puncture. Why now? |
| Y.Rossel | I’m waiting for a correction to my time. When you brake in fog and fog, it’s impossible. I stopped the car and waited. I think that if my time is not corrected, my race is ruined. |
