This is the end of our live commentary for this second stage in Argentina. See you tomorrow at 14:13 p.m. for the last day of the South American event.

“It’s nothing serious,” Evans said to explain his loss of time this afternoon. Little things that damaged my confidence. There is something strange at the rear and we have a lot of oversteer. I also had a spin in the final SS at reduced speed. I'm just not comfortable it's a frustrating afternoon.

Of course, I can stay ahead of Thierry Neuville. I didn't come here and do all this to be second. If he wants victory, he's going to have to fight like a lion against me for it. »

“The fight tomorrow is going to be difficult, but it seems that, in these conditions, our car is working well and we hope to benefit from it,” analyzes Neuville, 11” behind leader Evans before the last three stages. I think we have a good rhythm. How much risk will I take? We will see. »

“A bad day for sure, but that’s life sometimes,” commented Sébastien Ogier after SS15. We had a lot of small issues, now I'm happy to finish and get back to support.

Tomorrow we have very difficult stages, and a lot of things can happen, but more than ever, I hope to find a good feeling because today nothing worked for us. »

Hayden Paddon confirms the breakage of the front anti-roll bar on his Hyundai i20 in SS13.
