STAGE FLASH

5. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
Very slippy. Very surprising. My pacenotes were a bit optimistic and I had to slow down a bit. There were some slides and I don't want to risk anything.

6. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
In this half light you can' read the grip at all. It's really slippery and you can't see the grip at all. We've got the right tyres for the forest and the soft, around the Great Orme it might be a bit trickier.

4. Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) / Anders Jaeger (NOR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
It's cleaning a bit but it's too dark, we should have had the pod, we can't see anything. We should have had it for sure.

10. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 WRC
It's no so bad, it's different and take a bit of getting used to. I struggled to find a rhythm in here but it's OK.

11. Craig Breen (IRL) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Citroen C3 WRC
OK, tried the best I could.

9. Esapekka Lappi (FIN) / Janne Ferm (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
Felt good at the beginning, but I lost rhythm after I slid wide.

7. Jari-Matti Latvala (FIN) / Miikka Anttila (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
It was a very slippy stage. We had one moment in there, it was a very, very difficult stage.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Ford Fiesta WRC
I think it's a very tricky start. I didn't want to make a mistake.

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
The car is the same as yesterday. I'm feeling OK. All OK today.

2. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
Just getting though cleanly.

36. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5
We were careful in there but the light pod was quite helpful in that stage.

31. Pontus Tidemand (SWE) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Skoda Fabia R5
Nice stage, we had a good rhythm most of the time.

32. Gus Greensmith (GBR) / Alex Gelsomino (USA) - Ford Fiesta R5
