Other info
There’s no easy start as drivers are greeted by some of Corsica’s toughest roads. Last year’s opening 26km have been replaced by a new 7.40km section that follows a twisty, bumpy road before joining the 2016 route at the famous Pietrosella hairpin. It’s onwards and upwards along a poorly surfaced road to the legendary Col de Bellevalle hairpin. It widens on the climb to Bisinao, before a narrow road with many surface changes leads to the finish in Albitreccia.

Info
accident
out of road
"I went wide on a corner and hit a bridge. The (steering) arm was bent so we stopped to see. There was then a fire on the right-rear and it too a long time to stop that."
"Wow. This one was not easy at all. The last 10km I was very nervous and kept it steady on the road."
"I had a very bad feeling which is a shame. I couldn't place my car very well and that meant I couldn't go on the throttle at the right time. I will change the set up."
problem with power steering
"Today was an okay stage but impossible to commit because we have no gravel crew. I backed off in every corner because I could see some dirt on the road. Not very enjoyable."
"The problem is all of the cuts are making the road wet. There's a lot of mud and that doesn't help the confidence."
"Pretty difficult and the grip is really, really low for us. Need to try and see what we can do. Would be nice to drive at full attack."
"Quite happy. I've changed my Tarmac driving style completely and quite happy with the time. I've tried to smooth my style a little bit."
"I enjoyed it. The car's working fantastic. Thanks to my team for the hard work we put in during the test. A good start, but there's a long way to go."
"The last part of the stage was very slippery and dusty as well. I tried to drive well but not 100% happy with the car and struggled with some understeer. I was out of the line a few times. It wasn't a perfect, clean run."
"In some places I didn't feel very comfy in the car and I didn't have the confidence. Some places were a little bit damp as well."
"The car balance was quite good but when the tyre warmed up it started to understeer a bit."
"I didn't drive too well on the bumpy section of the stage, so I took it easy."
"I was expecting we would lose. There was damp at the end of the stage and I had quite a lot of understeer and was hesitating. I knew I was losing time."
