STAGE FLASH

4. Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) / Anders Jaeger (NOR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
It was not bad Much drier than I expected today. I was hoping for the opposite being first on the road. A clean run. We could have gone faster in some places but on others I was on the limit. Happy with the stage.

10. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 WRC
It's a little bit back and forward. It's not so bad, at least the car is responding to what I'm doing. We can try some things. I try to push, not everything is perfect but I try to learn and adapt on every stage and it's getting better and better.

6. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
Not quite working out with the tyre choice. Where it's muddy we are getting a lot of wheelspin. Conditions not quite what I expected. Difference not massive but we're fighting over a few seconds on a few kilometers.

11. Craig Breen (IRL) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Citroen C3 WRC
It's going in a good way. A bit of polishing here. I'm happy, the suns out and it's good fun.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Ford Fiesta WRC
There is something wrong with the time, I don't understand. When we were at the start line Craig was gone 20 seconds before the time, I don't understand. It's an OK morning, I stuggled a bit more for grip on these ones so I can't be flat out like on the first one.

7. Jari-Matti Latvala (FIN) / Miikka Anttila (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
I tried very hard. Overall it was a good stage for us. The conditions are interesting but at the moment the direction is better.

5. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
I will continue pushing. I think we made the wrong tyre choice this morning as the grip is a lot less than I thought it would be with the hard tyre on the front. I can't push harder, if you push then you go off.

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
It's been OK. I don't know why but we've been lacking a little power today but it's been consistant and the chassis is working well. So far everyone is using different tyres and the performance is the same so it's not so important I guess.

2. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
It's been very frustrating after yesterday to get back into a full flat out driving. With the road position we can't really make a mark on things.

36. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5
No point in taking risks, last stage was bad.

31. Pontus Tidemand (SWE) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Skoda Fabia R5
Difficult to catch Kalle with the minute gap. Happy with the stage though.

84. Tom Cave (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Hyundai i20 R5
Went off on the last stage and lost 15 minutes.

40. Stéphane Lefebvre (FRA) / Gabin Moreau (FRA) - Citroen C3 R5
Puncture in Sweet Lamb. This was better for us now is drying out.

37. Jari Huttunen (FIN) / Antti Linnaketo (FIN) - Hyundai i20 R5
Morning has been OK.

43. Eric Camilli (FRA) / Benjamin Veillas (FRA) - Ford Fiesta R5
Not good, we spun and now there are issues with something.

Difficult morning, we had a spin in the stage.

33. Lukasz Pieniazek (POL) / Przemyslaw Mazur (POL) - Skoda Fabia R5

Hmmmm. Only got one pass of the recce so part of the pacenotes were a bit doggy.

Good morning, first two stages were muddy this morning but this one was dry so were pushing hard.

Enjoyable morning, better than yesterday. These must be the some of the most famous stages in the UK.

102. Spencer Wilkinson (GBR) / Glyn Thomas (GBR) - Subaru Impreza WRX STi
