Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) sets the provisional best time on the La Mussara course by completing the 20,4km in 11?13??6. “I finally found a good set-up”, explains the Flying Finn. “I stay at this pace while keeping Dani Sordo at bay. »

Sébastien Ogier (Citroën) is the closest to the Fiesta RS WRC failing at 1??3. “We didn't have any problems in this special but we are still far from Dani Sordo. I hope the rain will come », admits the Frenchman.

Dani Sordo lost time by puncturing the left rear and losing 29 seconds to the leaders. “I certainly must have had a flat tire in one of the tight turns at the end of the course”, explains the Spaniard.

Jari-Matti Latvala (Ford) continued his efforts, failing 2??3 behind his teammate. “I lost time with the technical part but we took two spare wheels in case of rain. »

Sébastien Loeb (Citroën) continues to manage its race in the same way, falling 4 seconds behind its rival for the title. “I prepared for the rain by taking two spare wheels but I don’t think it will rain in the morning”, admits the seven-time world champion.

The leader of Rally from Catalonia still has a 29-second lead over Jari-Matti Latvala. Behind Mikko Hirvonen, Dani Sordo is relegated to more than a minute while Sébastien Ogier is still 38 seconds behind the Mini driver.
