"We think it is not bad, the feeling is quite good. Just have to be cautious on the fast part. My driving is not perfect for sure but it is the first one and it's still long."
SS3 Lousã 1 (12.28 km)	9:22.5	15. 6. class RC2 15. WRC 6. WRC2	78.6 km/h 1.88 s/km	23:54.9	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 3. WRC2

"My driving is good on this one, but sometimes on the long stretch we have no power. Like a pop-off or something like that. We lost the fight for the victory as the time is a big difference."
SS5 Arganil 1 (18.72 km)	12:17.4	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 3. WRC2	91.4 km/h 1.97 s/km	45:45.3	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 3. WRC2

"It's not bad, I tried to keep the tyre. It's crazy afternoon for them, let's see. All hard tyres, two soft as well."
SS7 Góis 2 (14.30 km)	9:30.8	10. 2. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2	90.2 km/h 1.94 s/km	1:04:31.7	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 3. WRC2

"I pushed on the limit. All the time. It's not just the last stage, I tried to take a soft tyre for this one. I think it's not the best choice."
SS9 Mortágua 2 (18.15 km)	12:00.8	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 3. WRC2	90.6 km/h 2.02 s/km	1:28:49.8	11. 2. class RC2 11. WRC 2. WRC2
"I think it is not an easy day, but a very good day for us. We work a lot before the rally and to fight with a Škoda here is fantastic. We have two rallies in one tomorrow, it is very loose but I can fight."
2. leg
SS10 Felgueiras 1 (8.81 km)	6:06.8	13. 5. class RC2 13. WRC 5. WRC2	86.5 km/h 2.55 s/km	1:34:56.6	11. 2. class RC2 11. WRC 2. WRC2
"I tried to push but I don't know if that is a good thing on these conditions. The grip is not the same, but I am here and the plan is to continue like this. It is not easy because we don't have full confidence. The car is not bad, the driver needs to adapt to the conditions."
SS11 Montim 1 (8.69 km)	5:52.4	12. 4. class RC2 12. WRC 4. WRC2	88.8 km/h 2.27 s/km	1:40:49.0	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2
"It's crazy. One minute you have two guys leading... it's crazy. It's a short stage but it's so fast. The grip is very low and the stage is very narrow."
SS12 Amarante 1 (37.24 km)	25:13.5	7. 1. class RC2 7. WRC 1. WRC2	88.6 km/h 1.80 s/km	2:06:02.5	7. 1. class RC2 7. WRC 1. WRC2
"It's good. Very good stage for me. The car works very well. It's perfect! Long time since we last had this feeling on gravel. My team is like my family and we work together every day. Last year we had a hard time on gravel, but we kept the focus."
SS13 Paredes 1 (16.09 km)	13:51.6	38. 24. class RC2 38. WRC 23. WRC2	69.7 km/h 7.99 s/km	2:20:54.1 1:00	14. 8. class RC2 14. WRC 7. WRC2
		Penalty 1:00 - Stewards decision
Changed a puncture
"It was a right corner, there was a big rock."
SS14 Felgueiras 2 (8.81 km)	6:01.7	8. 2. class RC2 8. WRC 2. WRC2	87.7 km/h 1.79 s/km	2:26:55.8 1:00	12. 6. class RC2 12. WRC 5. WRC2
"The line of WRC guys is not the same and we lose a lot of traction at the end of the corner, but clean stage. This race is completely crazy."
SS15 Montim 2 (8.69 km)	5:45.2	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 2. WRC2	90.6 km/h 1.90 s/km	2:32:41.0 1:00	12. 6. class RC2 12. WRC 5. WRC2
"After Greensmith's crash the plan is to come back to P2, but now it's completely different, we have to push. Let's see, the next one is quite challenging."
SS16 Amarante 2 (37.24 km)	25:27.1	11. 5. class RC2 11. WRC 4. WRC2	87.8 km/h 2.08 s/km	2:58:08.1 1:00	12. 6. class RC2 12. WRC 5. WRC2
"I want to keep my tyre, it's too soft for this one. I have six soft - it's completely crazy."
SS17 Paredes 2 (16.09 km)	11:57.1	7. 1. class RC2 7. WRC 1. WRC2	80.8 km/h 1.31 s/km	3:10:05.2 1:00	10. 4. class RC2 10. WRC 3. WRC2
"Not easy for sure this afternoon, let's see for tomorrow, we'll keep up the pressure. The plan is to fight back but the guys are very fast today, tomorrow we have very tricky stages. Fafé a lot of people know very well, but the first one is very tricky. We'll see what happens with the tyres tomorrow, we think we'll stick with the softs."
SS18 SSS Lousada (3.36 km)	2:37.4	8. 1. class RC2 8. WRC 1. WRC2	76.8 km/h 1.96 s/km	3:13:42.6 2:00	13. 7. class RC2 13. WRC 6. WRC2
		Penalty 1:00 - Early at TC
"The stage is nice for the spectator. It's okay for the driver, for the atmosphere and to finish the day with that is good."
3. leg
SS19 Cabeceiras de Basto 1 (19.91 km)	14:22.8	15. 6. class RC2 15. WRC 5. WRC2	83.1 km/h 3.23 s/km	3:28:05.4 2:00	13. 6. class RC2 13. WRC 5. WRC2
"It's not a perfect weekend, but it is like that. On the last rally I said we are a team and that doesn't change after one week. I think we are very strong, we need to keep focus for the rest of the events. It is sad for the championship, but we had a good rally, a good team behind me. Stay smiling."
SS20 Fafe 1 (11.18 km)	7:00.9	14. 5. class RC2 14. WRC 4. WRC2	95.6 km/h 2.29 s/km	3:35:06.3 2:00	13. 6. class RC2 13. WRC 5. WRC2
"It's not easy for sure when you're fighting for nothing. There is a lot of fog, so not a lot of visibility. This morning there was a mistake from the team. It's like that. It is difficult to keep positive. If you said before the start we can fight with Škoda and I am positive because it is a first gravel event, but it is hard."
SS21 Cabeceiras de Basto 2 (19.91 km)	13:58.3	10. 3. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2	85.5 km/h 2.49 s/km	3:49:04.6 2:00	12. 6. class RC2 12. WRC 5. WRC2
SS22 Fafe 2[Power Stage] (11.18 km)	6:51.2	11. 3. class RC2 11. WRC 3. WRC2	97.9 km/h 2.46 s/km	3:55:55.8 2:00	12. 6. class RC2 12. WRC 5. WRC2
"I am a bit disappointed, for sure when you can fight for the win and you finish fifth it is not easy to say in your head 'it's a good weekend', but it is a reference weekend for me and the car on gravel. Sometimes we are good on the first day and not second, but now we can fight ultra fast. I think I am a bit behind Oliver but we need to work for more and we will see."
