"The course had changed a lot compared to usual, in June. The sun is back, it is quite hot, the majority of the course is likely to dry out. The ground is waterlogged, we would probably have more ruts on the second pass. We will be 5th in the starting order: it's much less advantageous given the weather conditions. I think there will be very little gap between the cars. The key, this It will be to go to the end and be consistent. The rallies are quite short, you have to be on top from the start despite an ultra complicated first special. I appreciate this rally. My team too because Hyundai has won this event several times. If we win, it will be difficult to jump into the sea, it seems pretty cold to me. We worked well in Turkey, we will have to be on top again, "Neuville clarified at our microphone.
And Gilsoul added: "We have won here twice, but the parameters are very different this year. You have to adjust the car accordingly. It's a course where there is technique, you have to drive hard, you have to provoke the car, etc. The championship is truncated, we suffered two withdrawals because of mechanical problems: we are a little behind. We cannot leave by saying to ourselves 'it's all or nothing'. It doesn't work in rallying. We have to have our pace, sort out all the details. We have to do as usual and hope that everything works well. "
