Solberg, vincitore in Messico nel 2005, ha commentato: “E’ stata una speciale molto difficile perchè in alcuni tratti era scivoloso. Avevo comunque un buon feeling e non ho spinto troppo”
Stesso tempo per JM Latvala e Ott Tanak che condividono il quinto posto, ma Latvala ha confidato di aver fatto un piccolo errore a metà della speciale. Ken Block, dopo aver danneggiato l’anteriore alla shakedown, è riuscito comunque a completare la speciale: “Non credevo potesse essere così scivoloso nel tunnel. Non avevo grip e ho toccato con l’anteriore. Non era quello che avrei voluto, ma non è così male”
Chris Atkinson, compagno di squadra di Block, ha optato per un approccio più cauto e nonostante tutto è stato più veloce di Block di 5.3 secondi.
Thierry Neuville, che corre con il Citroen Junior Rally Team, ha ammesso di aver preso larga la prima curva ed ha concluso in nona posizione.
Armindo Araujo, primo a partire sulla speciale, ha dovuto lottare con il problema al turbo della MINI WRC che lo affliggeva dallo shakedown.
