Comments:
Mikkelsen: We went slightly off and got a puncture. We had to replace the wheel, it was my mistake.
Sordo: Quite nice stage. I was pushing really really hard.
Wiegand: Especially this stage was very difficult, last few kms we had no brakes. In the beginning we had big moment, we have too much oversteering. We have to do something with the setup.
Kopecky: We are trying our best. It is not easy, but the car is working perfectly.
Arzeno: We made a small mistake, we hit a small rock with the rear.
Stage 6:
In stage 6 Dani Sordo set the fastest time 2.7 seconds faster than Mikkelsen. Finally the stage was cancelled after few incidents include car in fire of Pierre Antoine Guglielmi.
Sordo: It was good, I'm happy. But the car was little bit understeering, it could be better.
Mikkelsen: It was OK, I again found confidence after the previous accident.
Stage 7:
Dani Sordo is again the fastest man in stage 7, 0.7 seconds faster than Campana.
Arzeno: It's difficult, we changed the setup, but it seems it was not good move.
Campana: Good stage for me, the car is really good now.
Mikkelsen: Good stage, no problems, good rhytm.
One stage remains to the end of day 2 and 6 stages for Saturday.
