Other info

Terra Alta is the longest stage of the rally. A 3km section at the start, which was new last year, leads into Vilalba del Arcs, before it heads away through a well-known zig-zag which offers great views of the village and its bell tower in the background. It is mostly gravel but drivers face five surface changes, including an incredibly twisty and undulating 6km asphalt section in the middle and a tight asphalt hairpin near the finish on tyres worn by the gravel.

puncture

#33

Tempestini S.
- Bernacchini G.

"A good day for us. No problems. These long stages are very nice. A long day though, hard to manage the car around the big stones."

#32

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"We lost the power steering in the last stage. I think I need to go to the gym because it's hard to drive like this."

#31

Kopecký Jan
- Dresler Pavel

"It was much better this time because we got a five minute gap to Serderidis ahead and I didn't need to stop on the stage because of the dust."

#14

Østberg Mads
- Eriksen Torstein

"The car is full of dust, I struggled to see, and the heater is stuck on. It's like 100 degrees in here. When it's like this I cannot say focused. Stupid things are destroying our rally for the moment."

Lefebvre Stéphane
- Moreau Gabin

"Better. You have to do these stages many times before you understand them."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"A much better run this time on the hard tyres. Okay, I'm a bit frustrated about the mistake in the hairpin earlier but I'm in a good position overnight, so I'm happy."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"I thought I had a puncture, or perhaps a broken damper, I think something happened with the suspension. Still, we managed and we are here. I'm happy with my day, getting used to the car and fighting back at the top."

#11

Hänninen Juho
- Lindström Kaj

"Not so good in the morning. A bit too careful in the rough sections, I could have pushed more."

#12

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"At least we have brakes now but the suspension is not good enough - it's too nervous."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"I can't take anything from this. It was so, so difficult - even before the first split."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

"I tried my best but it's very, very difficult. Not a lot of traction."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"This afternoon has been difficult. I felt some impact in this stage and lost the brakes in the Tarmac section. A tricky second loop today."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"It was not easy on the Tarmac and I have two spares as well," he says. "Also I was changing my diff settings in the stage and I got a bit confused with the diff map."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Let's see how the times look at the end, but whatever happens I can be happy with my day. I expected to lose more today from my position first on the road. My competitors today were Ott and Thierry and I'm happy with what I have done."
