Some first reactions from the finish Mesen

Solowow: The problems of the earlier stages are solved. He thinks all will go well from now on.

Meeke and Van den Heuvel say the stage is way less slippery than during the first leg.

Loix goes 2"6 faster than Meeke. He seems happy with his stage.

Neuville spins on the stage and loses about 10".

Snijers had an issue with the exhaust on leg 1 and now is struggling with the geometry of the front suspension having too much toe out.

Donchev reaches the finish with a puncture front left.

Vouilloz catches up with Donchev at the end of the stage and goes third fastest.

Kopecky goes second fastest but does not comment any further.

Bruyneel keeps his promise and pushes harder in order to catch up with Lietaer. Unfortunately, his race finishes in a ditch at the last corner of the first stage after the regroup.

Tlustak is slowing down a bit as it gets darker and goes a massive 26" slower than during the first run.

Paul Lietaer seems to have retired completely. He is standing next to his car, helmet off.
