In SS 8 Ghymno 2, Evgeny Novikov set the fastest time followed by Latvala at +4.6 and Ogier at +15.0. Dani Sordo who finished the stage sixth comments the stage conditions: “It’s terrible. It’s so rough that you cannot drive. There are stones everywhere, the road is completely destroyed. You have to go through the corners slowly because if you go fast then you will break something. It’s a lottery.”
In this stage Novikov moved up to 9th position, while Ogier is 11th.
In SS 9 Kefalari 2 is reporting for rain that is rarely happens in Greece rally. In this stage Novikov is again first followed by Latvala at +1.5.

Okay, we lost grip in one or two places, and went wide a couple of times, but otherwise it turned out to be a good stage.”
