"It's been a very tough rally for us so far. We have given away so much time out of our control, so it's very frustrating but I don't give up. It's a long day tomorrow as well, and if we carry on with the speed we have done, everything is possible."

SS24 Tartu vald 2[Power Stage] (6.51 km)	6:11.4	11. 3. class RC2 11. WRC 3. WRC2	63.1 km/h 2.95 s/km	3:02:15.7 0:10	10. 3. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2
"In one way it's been a good weekend, we've shown some pace, but we had a lot of issues out of our control, if we did the rally one more time we'd have the same issues. We gave away more than a minute and we're ending about 15 seconds behind the victory, we should be proud of what we achieved."
