Meet at 10:52 a.m. for the next special.
The classification of the special:
The general after SS8:
Rovanperä's hammer blow! The Finn beat Tänak’s time by 7″5, 20’35″9. The Finn is flying at the start of the morning.
Tänak widens the gap on Ogier! The Estonian erases the Frenchman's mark of 6″4, with a time of 20'43″4. All this while complaining about the lack of grip.
Details on the time lost by Fourmaux: “In a slow corner, I hit a barrier following a loss of grip. »
Sébastien Ogier best time! In 20’49″8, he improved Elfyn Evans’ mark by 3″3. “Another difficult stage for me because of the grip.”
Sordo failed 7 tenths behind Evans, 20’53″8. The Spaniard has been impressively consistent since the start of the rally. He is a credible candidate for the podium. “The feeling was ok but there wasn’t much grip.”
Adrien Fourmaux finished the special in 21’07”5 (+14”4). Too bad for the Frenchman who made a mistake in the second half of the special, while he was within Evans' times.
Great performance from Greensmith 21’00″8, 2nd to 7″7 from Elfyn Evans
Evans new leader. The Briton is doing better and stops the clock in 20’53”1. “Very surprised by this special, I didn’t expect to go down the hill at the end.”
Neuville took the best time in 21’08”5, 23”6 ahead of Loubet.
Very good 2nd intermediate for Fourmaux! The Frenchman is just over 2 seconds behind Evans, best time.
At the first intermediate, Ogier is behind Sordo by 3 seconds.
Loubet finished in 21’32”1. The Frenchman was clean in this special. “The end is very difficult, with little grip, it looks like ice.” A surprising report since on the screen, the trajectory looked better at the end of the special.
Evans, Fourmaux and Sordo are gone. Only the 3 leaders remain at the start.
The drivers continue a second special stage of more than 20km, there will be 4 today. Be careful not to lose everything by attacking too much from the start of the day.
The conditions look difficult with a lot of mud and ruts, especially at the start of the special.
Thierry Neuville is at the start.
Reminder of the choice of tires made by the drivers.
Let's go to Corsica!
