Other info
A legendary stage that has been trimmed by 5km at the beginning. A technical uphill section from the start ends at La Porta church, before twisty and bumpy roads run through Giocatojo and up to the Col Saint Antoine. The descent on new and older asphalt heads through several villages before climbing again to Campile. A twistier road tracks the mountainside before a series of abrasive downhill hairpins leads to the finish.

Info
"Tricky start to the morning. I went straight on in the first junction and had to reverse. I feel I improved a lot my driving on the slippery sections since yesterday so that makes me feel good."
"This stage is for men! The time is not bad and the car set-up is very good for me."
"The brakes were overheating and I didn't get a good rhythm."
"I was maybe a bit too careful on this stage. There's so much gravel being pulled out so, for sure, hesitant in many places."
"I am really surprised about the time. I just tried to drive smoothly and keep my tyres."
"The car sounded strange in the stage. Sometime's it was working and sometimes it wasn't. We must find out what the problem is."
"That wasn't too bad. It was very dirty and we had to be careful. Obviously Neuville's had a good time but I'm happy. I've increased my lead, that's the main thing."
"There was definitely some sections where I was not compatible with the car and couldn't push. I cannot find more. The car is touching the road too much for me."
"The conditions are very tricky with a lot of gravel. I tried to push hard and we have done the maximum."
"I struggled in the really dirty places and I lost the brake pedal a little towards the end of the stage. But I'm happy enough."
"The worst stage in my life – unbelievable. I can't push and was really slow. By kilometre three, I just wanted to get to the end of the stage!"
"It was slippery – not an easy stage. The surface was changing a lot with some nasty places. We're changing things, but it's not easy to do on the rally."
"We're trying things and using it as a bit of a test session but we've taken a bit of a step back this morning with the set up. I need the car to help me to give me the confidence, but now it's not giving me confidence at all."
"The car is working really okay. It's an enjoyable stage but some tricky loose bits that require you to be patient."
