Other info

A stage of varying characteristics which make it one of the event’s most demanding. After a downhill start on a two-lane road, it switches to a narrow ribbon of asphalt which winds up through a series of medium bends to Savallà del Comtat. Following a juntion in Segura, it descends through fast and wide corners to Conesa. It’s all-change again as the surface becomes broken and the final section reverts to a narrow lane. A new test for 2017.

Info

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"The second loop has been better than the first. We have kept out of trouble and have a better feeling in the car. Hopefully tomorrow we continue in the same way."

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"It's been a good day. This morning we were able to catch everyone on the hop and this afternoon was all about not doing anything stupid. There's one tricky super special to go tonight - and I didn't cover myself in glory on the Super Special in Germany! We have to keep concentrated."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

Another update from Hyundai: 'Mikkelsen stopped on SS12 with a broken steering - same place as Sordo.

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"It's not over, even if I think we deserved better than this. What can we do?"

#11

Hänninen Juho
- Lindström Kaj

"I have to be happy. A great morning and okay, maybe the Fords have found something extra in the afternoon. Altogether a great day. I will push tomorrow - that's clear."

#14

Østberg Mads
- Eriksen Torstein

Believes he hit an object in a ditch - the same thing he believes Sordo hit. Mads reports his steering now feels "weird".

#12

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"We made some changes in service and the car is feeling better."

Sordo Dani
- Martí Marc

WRC+ live tracking shows second placed Dani's Hyundai stopped at 7.5km. Word from Hyundai: 'Sordo stopped on SS12 with a broken steering.'

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"It's been a really difficult day. It's difficult to find motivation to push when you are half a second off the pace. It's very hard."
