Other info
The initial section is all about the vineyards above the Mosel river. It is littered with hairpins, both downhill and uphill, and tricky junctions among the grapes. After exiting the vines, there is a 1.3km blast along a main road to the village of Rivenich, which drivers leave across open fields. The stage becomes more open before ending with another string of hairpins.

"My first time on the full rain tyres. Good grip. The best option I think."
"They were the right choice for me. This stage was a mud bath near the end. For me I had no choice, I had to go for these. I'm happy not to lose more time from this position on the road."
"The road was a lot cleaner than I expected. The rain has washed it. I was expecting more mud, which might have benefited us. We don't often run these tyres, even on tests, so they look a bit of getting used to."
"About 70 per cent of the stage was okay, but when you have standing water and soft tyres it's not the best combination. Still, I managed to survive."
"Hard to know if this was the correct choice. I'm not driving too committed. It's difficult to judge the tyres on the way I'm driving the car."
"Better than I expected. In places the grip was reasonable."
"A mix of tyres on the car. Some places it worked well, in others no grip at all."
"I felt the wet tyre go off really quick. I struggled to commit in there."
"The first part was quite okay. Towards the end on the big road I started aquaplaning and I lost the confidence." Jari-Matti's Toyota is running sweetly again after its trip to service.
"Actually not so good, there was a tight hairpin, I pulled the handbrake but I couldn't see out and I went straight into the vines. I was very lucky to get back. I still feel sorry I didn't take full wet tyres like the team suggested."
"Not so easy. I don't know, let's see how the guys behind go, but it might work with the rain tyres here - we were aquaplaning in places. The important thing is that Thierry and I are on the same."
"I was full softs. I don't know what the best option would be. Many times I was sideways a lot and I had a spin near the end. I tried my best but it's not very nice in these conditions."
