"The conditions are perfect but we made a mess. I didn't have enough time before the stage to get the set-up right. I have three bar in the front tyres - and I had a spin in here." | ||||||

"I got a stone between the bleed nipple and the rim on the first stage and that broke it. We had three brakes for the next stage and now I have nothing. I can barely stop. Not nice." | ||||||

"Holy God, that was pretty incredible. A track the width of a tyre in the road and the moment you get off it, it's over. I'm a bit of a snowplow this morning." | ||||||

"A big contrast between conditions here and the slush at the start. I was aquaplaning on top of the slush. Hats off to my ice note crew." | ||||||

"I enjoyed that one. Tricky in places, a bit of fog, I could only see 30 or 40m ahead on the 1km straight. Really good fun." | ||||||

"It was nice to have a clean road. I really, really enjoyed it. A good feeling in the car, but I wasn't committed enough in a couple of places. If I was in a fight, I reckon it's a stage for soft tyres, but I did my best to make the stage as messy as possible. Let's see how they get on." | ||||||

"Really tricky. A lot more wet and damp than I imagined. I thought the soft tyres would be good - in fact the super-soft would have been better. A lot of gravel and frost in places." | ||||||

"A bit of a frustrating weekend. Even now we went into a cut and I stalled in a hairpin - on the Power Stage! Some good speed at times, but we struggled with our road position yesterday. Onwards and upwards from here." |
