Mattias Ekström: « We had a good day, although we kept ending up driving in the dust created by some of the other competitors. We made a few detailed adjustments to the car ahead of the leg, and they made a huge difference to the drivability. »
Camelia Liparoti: « Today was not difficult, but we had to get through a very long liaison. The special stage itself was quick, with a few dunes. We overtook three rivals there. In general, the stage was too fast for me. I prefer it when it is more technical. »
Annett Fischer: « Today’s stage was very fast. We only had to cross a small dune field, otherwise there were a lot of full-speed sections. Navigation was really challenging in some places. However, we made it through without any problems and are pleased to be at the bivouac. »
