Neuville / Gilsoul drop down 11.2 seconds in the stage. In this stage 12th position for Dani Sordo / C. Del Barrio as Sordo comments: "I am not confident with nothing, not notes not nothing. We try to find something. I look to go faster but the stage time not so good."
Ostberg: "The stage was good, my driving was not perfect but the time is quite ok. I tried to push more and more. At the end when I push maximum I could still push some more. It is quite slippery in a few places. It is getting some ruts and it was quite good for us, you get in the ruts and pray..."
