Insomma, i due piloti ufficiali Citroen stanno andando forte ma potrebbe esserci ancora qualche sorpresa. Petter Solberg ha fatto registrare il terzo tempo più veloce sulla speciale nonostante il freno a mano della sua Citroen DS3 WRC non funzionasse, purtroppo per Solberg la sua vettura è andata man mano perdendo potenza sulla speciale di Alfaro, la PS6, perdendo circa 7 minuti: “Non riuscivo a spingere, non andava. Non va davvero bene. Stavo pensando ad un buon inizio di campionato ma cosi’ non va bene”
Anche Henning Solberg, il fratello maggiore di Petter, ha perso secondi preziosi per un testacoda della sua Ford Fiesta RS WRC, intanto Latvala è stato il più veloce degli ufficiali Ford concludendo la speciale in quarta posizione assoluta.
Non finiscono i problemi neppure per Ken Block che si è dovuto fermare sulla speciale per un problema meccanico. Gli equipaggi sono ora al service di Leon prima di affrontare la prima delle due super speciali.
