Great, great feeling, I had to push hard to be honest, opening the road on Friday was very difficult
It's been a very good weekend...fantastic to be at the end with a second place...very pleased with this... / Byl to velmi dobrý víkend... parádní být v cíli na druhém místě...jsem moc spokojený...
On Saturday we had 2 issues, problems with one of the sensors... then I hit a rock and damaged the wheel.
Was OK, not perfect, I made a couple of small mistakes...a great rally to start with me and Ola...
We come here this year feeling completely at home with the car... happy with the progress we've made, solid finish. / Jeli jsme tu letos s autem jako doma...jsem moc spokojen s naším posunem, dobrý výsledek...
OK, just going to the finish for the points...really happy with the improvement...
OK, I'm happy, I try my best...I'm happy. I made it to the end... / OK, jsem spokojený, snažil jsem se úplně nejvíc...Jsem moc rád. Jel jsem tak až do konce...
Mixed rally for us, but I think 90% of it is positive...the best thing is the pleasure I got by driving a rally car on gravel
I spun in one of the corners and hit the wall...I had to reverse...I was just lucky...
It's been a very challenging weekend...to come here for the first time was definitely quite hard. Still good fun... / Byl to velmi náročný víkend...jet tu poprvé bylo velice obtížné. Ale docela velká zábava...
Much better than this morning...still some road cleaning...I do my best...of course the guys behind will be quicker...
Still quite slippery, you can use the rough to help you round the corners...
Bertelli kisses bonnet: "Couldn't be better, fantastic...showing our pace yesterday...first place here is amazing" leads WRC2 Driver table / Políbil kapotu: Nemohlo by to být lepší, je to úžasné...ukazuje to naše tempo včera...první místo tady je naprosto báječné!

SS14
Stěžuje si na bolesti zad:"Bolí to jako čert"
SS13
My mistake... we touched a rock, we damaged the wheel and had to change it...also I am losing the brakes. Very disappointing
He has stopped
we'll take it as it comes / Bereme to jak to je...
Protasov reported stopped on the stage
Not been maybe as exciting as yesterday. It felt very steady in there and I was having positive splits from Martin
It's started being very painful, and that's not very nice / (Bolí ho záda) Začíná to být hodně bolestivé a to není moc zábavné...
still struggling in the corners...very good day today
I can go more...but at 25km I backed off because I could see the tyres were moving [side to side]
He is on the move
Learning, car is better and better stage by stage
It has gone very well, especially on this stage...I had a push before the end
He is moving slowly
He is moving again
He stopped in the stage
He has stopped
SS12
We tried to do not many mistakes...loose rocks, we try to keep going...everything is OK
Everything is good, the feeling is coming, the balance with the car is quite OK
We stalled the engine, we don't know the reason, my mistake, technical...now it's a matter of saving the tyres / Chcíplo nám to, nevím proč, asi moje chyba... teď musíme pošetřit pneumatiky...
Of course I push...this afternoon I had to push, it's a good one for us... / Samozřejmě tlačím...dnes odpoledne musím tlačit, je to dobrá zkouška...
More or less, still with some pain...the muscle is starting to stop, so my arm stays bended
was OK, quite abrasive in there, lot more tyre work...have to be careful on the next stage
We have a broken damper
Not so bad for us, cos we're not pushing 10% like the rest of the guys / Nebylo to špatné, ale netlačíme jako ostatní kluci...
Unfortunately Robert and Maciek have taken the front-right wheel off their Ford Fiesta RS WRC on SS12. Driver and co-driver both OK #WRC
I try to drive quite carefully, I can tell you
No story, all right, good stage, I try to push a bit more...we make some small changes
This was better than this morning...
Couple of little water splashes in there...[2nd run?] I'm enjoying it a lot more when you can feel the car underneath you / Pár brodů...Bavím se víc než si dovedete představit...
He has stopped.

SS5
He has rolled
It's not easy, it's very slippy and the tyres are overheating a lot / Není to jednoduché, hodně to klouže a pneumatiky se mi hodně přehřívají...
It's OK, but it's very slippery. I try my best - better the second time / Je to ok, ale hodně to klouzalo. Jel jsem jak nejlépe umím...
Prokop passes stricken cars and then met a marshal in the stage: "One marshal was running...I almost hit him. Big moment..."
Stopped and is now moving again
Evans passed Meeke stopped with bonnet up, Neuville on jacks: On Meeke: "I don't know what the problem is" / Předjížděl Meeka s otevřenou kapotou...
He is moving
Quite OK, had a very good run till 24km..had a massive impact...hit something really hard..after that rhythm wasn't good / Docela to šlo, dobrá jízda až do 24 kilometru, pak jsme tvrdě doskočili...něco jsme trafili...a pak už jsem neměl dobré tempo...
Everything is OK...Jari is going very fast...very comfortable at the moment...long rally
difficult to see the lines, lot of dust on top
He is stopped in stage
SS4
Very very slippery, I was struggling with the rhythm. [noise earlier?] all OK now
Definitely better, but we had some misfire in the engine...
I don't know. I just drive / Nevím, prostě jedu...
Good...split times not bad...I have been a bit worried about the pacenotes, but the grip is good...
That was another difficult one - quite intermittent grip
Quite OK. I benefitted a bit from my road position...I tried to stay clean...not take risks
I have a battery alarm...I lost power through the stage
I feel much more confident, I really enjoy that stage
For me a correct stage...I'm happy enough with that...so easy to do a mistake / Pro mě dobrá zkouška...Jsem dost spokojený... snadno lze udělat chybu...
now it seems to be fine
I am pushing, I cannot do more...there are some really crazy photographers at the jumps... in the middle of the road
Jarmo ...the fire very close to him...but we are OK...it was very strange...
SNAP Hirvonen - team says car caught fire on road section and is burnt out, crew reported OK
SS3
SNAP Hirvonen - team says car caught fire on road section and is burnt out, crew reported OK
Je to tu težké, myslel jsem že to bude lehčí, hodně uklouzané, trápíme se, prach...
We had to take it steady, it's not easy, but it's OK. [enjoyable?] I think I need Tarmac to enjoy / Jeli jsme stabilně, nebylo to snadné, ale ok. Myslím, že potřebuju asfalt, abych se bavil...
It was my fault...putt putt putt, then stalling again
I didn't drive so fast like the stage before...I had huge big understeer, need to check the tyres
Vložka byla strašná, hrozně rozbitá, pošetřili jsme to, zatim hodně dobrý, uvidíme co dál...
Find the combination of speed...the times are not too bad, we don't need to do anything / Našel jsem kombinaci rychlosti...čas není špatný, nepotřebujeme dělat víc...
lost some time at the end of the stage, I tried to get through...4 stages [in the loop]
The important thing for me is feeling that the car is good...absolutely no risks, I'm happy. Let it flow / Nejdůležitější věc pro mě je pocit, že auto je dobré... naprosto vůbec neriskuji, jsem spokojený.
Time is not so good now...but all right....
Tricky bumpy stage, I have to be careful. Not happy to be careful, but...
Tricky stage, so I took it little bit careful. But it´s ok.
Lost the fluid from the system, the right front corner...but we managed to take the air out.,,,but 2 stages still to go
I cannot do faster...I do my best, I push but it is impossible. It is the stupidity of this route
SS2
OK, but very very slippery....we'll see second time through / Ok, ale hodně moc to klouzalo... uvidíme, jak to půjde při druhém průjezdu...
Too many mistakes in pacenotes. The rythm is very good.
[some] noises...[from front] Try to get an advantage from this...we have a good time...it was not too bad
Not time to look at everything...I want a simple clean rhythm...[last night?] It was just a water pipe
Really bad drive...I don't want to make the same mistake as in Argentina. I'm through it - that's how it is / Opravdu špatná jízda...Nechci udělat stejnou chybu jako v Argentině. Přenesl jsem se přes to - tak to je...
I lose a lot of time...bumpy sections...I [lost] it in Argentina and I do not want to do that again. Not a good start
It is cleaning a lot...I am sure the boys behind will be a lot faster....
We have a problem with the brake system...2.5k from the end...soft...I do not know what the problem is
Quite terrible. I loose very lot, there is no grip.
SS1
It's OK...kicking on the jump...it's OK. The rally is really starting tomorrow...it will be a difficult day / Je to ok, skok nás hodně kopnul...je to v pohodě. Rally začíná až zítra...bude to těžký den...
I try to get the same feeling I had in Argentina...I have started the rally, everything is OK
We're going to give it a good shot - let's see how it goes / Chystáme se bojovat - uvidíme, jak to půjde...
Very tricky stage, but good fun...unbelievable how many people are here...good opening to a rally...
I had a great start, good fun, I tried to do my best, I couldn't do much better on this one / Parádní začátek, dobrá jízda, snažil jsem se jet co nejlépe, nešlo udělat víc na téhle zkoušce
Clean start for us, no problems, good way to start the rally...we'll see / Čistý začátek pro nás, žádné problémy, dobrý začátek rally... uvidíme...
Pretty good to be honest, good recce and good memories of last year. Massive effort to come down down, but worth it
Lot of people here, not a proper stage, bit strange...let's get ready for tomorrow / Hodně lidí, není to ta pravá rychlostka, trochu zvláštní... jsme připraveni na zítra...
I tried to make it easy, but... I lost time over there
Everything was happy so fast...I was a little bit cautious. Tomorrow is a different game
Very nice, very difficult, very narrow...I lost a little time in the final corner
Really difficult stages for the R5...we just have to survive tomorrow
