Other info

The early part of Caseres, which starts in the village of the same name, is fast and narrow. After a junction in Arenys de Lledó, an undulating, but wider, road heads through a wind farm and on to a tricky hairpin before the finish, where drivers must brake on gravel before turning left on dirty asphalt. Identical to the stage used in 2016.

Info

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"I spun right at the end of the last stage. I caught a lip on the asphalt and had to stop and reverse to get going again. I lost five or six seconds. Otherwise I I feel good. It feels a bit like Mexico here - the roads are not dissimilar."

#12

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"I'm a bit happier, but maybe this was too much for the tyres already. I have to have a look."

#11

Hänninen Juho
- Lindström Kaj

"Everything is quite okay. We made a few changes in service. We might try a few more things before Terra Alta."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"For sure there is a grippy line, and the feeling wasn't too bad, but the time is terrible. I expected to be closer."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

"More grip and traction this time."

#10

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"This is the way we want to go! We made changes during service and we realized we did something wrong in the morning. The grip wasn't all that great."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"Very difficult at the moment. Quite a good line, but either side it is very deep [gravel]."
