"Not too bad! It was not an easy morning. We had some tricky conditions out there and starting seventh on the road was a big challenge with a lot of cuts and dirt in the road during the first two stages. This one was maybe not so bad and we were able to enjoy some more consistent conditions, let's say."

"It's been a good day and I'm really happy. I was a bit scared to be seventh on the road today with the amount of cuts that we had to go through, but we had a really good feeling in the car throughout the day. So far, so good. Obviously 4.8 seconds is not a lot so we will need to keep on pushing hard tomorrow."

"It's been a very enjoyable day for us. We had good fun in the car and the times were following. That's always what you dream for when you come to a rally. Honesty, so far I am happy with my season but of course it would be nice to clinch a win. Now we are in a good position but there is still a long way to go."

"I heard before the start that Elfyn and Craig had issues. I think there was a tricky place near the end and I was planning to avoid it anyway because I am not taking any risks. There is like a small hole and if you go in it the impact is too hard for the tyres."
