SS4 Urria 12.75 km
Urria features the legendary jump, which is one of the landmarks in the rally.
1 Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena (Citroen DS3 WRC)
'I´m happy but I didn´t drive as well as yesterday. The stages today are a bit different from yesterday. I made a few mistakes and didn´t find a good rhythm. I was a bit too cautious at the beginning.´
2 Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen (Citroen DS3 WRC)
´It was a lot better now. The rear is sliding a bit too much so we´ll have to adjust the rear suspension a bit.´
3 Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
´We changed the settings from yesterday. Not a big gap but I´m surprised at how fast Loeb is going. I pushed but I went a bit too much sideways.´
4 Petter Solberg/Chris Patterson (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'It is getting rough but I´m happy with the time.´
5 Ott Tänak/Kuldar Sikk (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'We went the wrong way with the setup but we´ll change it at the service. The car is running too low.´
6 Evgeny Novikov/Denis Giraudet (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'I´m trying to push.´
7 Chris Atkinson/Stephane Prevot (Citroen DS3 WRC)
Had some problems: 'The intercom started coming out. I´m disappointed to lose so much time.´
8 Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul (Citroen DS3 WRC)
'Not so bad; I was careful in some places. No mistakes, a very clean run.´
10 Mads Östberg/Jonas Andersson (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'I tried to push too much and lost the line in some places.´
12 Armindo Araújo/Miguel Ramalho (Mini John Cooper Works WRC)
'Well, it was OK, but I didn´t find a good feeling.´
14 Paulo Nobre/Edu Paula (Mini John Cooper Works WRC)
'It is not easy if you want to go fast. The car has a flu, it is not perfect but it can be cured.´
15 Martin Prokop/Zdenek Hruza (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'It was difficult to get the rhythm. I was not fast enough.´
17 Jari Ketomaa/Mika Stenberg (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
´I´m doing what I can. Maybe we´ll do some clicker changes. I took a more rigid rear anti-roll bar at the service but it doesn´t seem to help. We´ll change back to a softer one at the next service.´
18 Matti Rantanen/Mikko Lukka (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'We put on softer springs yesterday evening to get the confidence back. I have a good feeling but the car is still sliding a lot. I could not have gone faster. '
19 Sebastian Lindholm/Timo Hantunen (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
´It was a very fast stage, also the first part and of course the famous jumps, but we made it OK. I don´t really know how fast I can go with this car. Nowadays the cars are really fast but the engines are not quite as advanced as they used to be.´
20 Sebastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (Skoda Fabia S2000)
´I´m happy with the car setup but not so happy with my driving.´
21 Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Floene (Skoda Fabia S2000)
´I feel more confident - it´s much easier to drive now.´
31 Hayden Paddon/John Kennard (Skoda Fabia S2000)
'I need to pick up pace a bit, but it was not too bad.´
32 Craig Breen/Paul Nagle (Ford Fiesta S2000)
'I´m really having a good time. The confidence is coming. I´m happy to be here and getting better step by step.´
33 Per-Gunnar Andersson/Emil Axelsson (Proton Satria Neo S2000)
'The run was good but there´s nothing I can do better. I´ll have to try more on the next stage.´
34 Juha Salo/Marko Salminen (Proton Satria Neo S2000)
´Not nicely - we´re losing time and have to change something. I braked a bit too often and my pacenotes were a bit too cautious.-
43 Ken Block/Alex Gelsomino (Ford Fiesta RS WRC)
'No issues. I think I was too conservative with my pacenotes for the jumps.´
49 Esapekka Lappi/Janne Ferm (Ford Fiesta S2000)
'It´s really fun. It went better than yesterday and it´s good to continue from here.´
53 Riku Tahko/Markus Soininen (Mini John Cooper Works WRC)
´I was not quite comfortable with the car yesterday. Now the car is great and we have a good grip. My first target is to be the top Mini and the second target is to beat Block.´
