| "It is very close so I think it is not too bad a start. Very slippery in there, I think the big one is coming in the next stage." / "Je to těsné, takže to asi není špatný start. Klíčová bude další zkouška." | |||||||||
| SS3 | Brenig 1 | 29.13 km | 16:58.8 | 3. | 102.9 | 0.22 | 22:29.4 | 3. | |

| SS6 | Slate Mountain 2 | 1.63 km | 1:18.9 | 11. | 74.4 | 2.21 | 35:41.3 | 8. | |
| "The morning was close to a disaster to be honest. The gearbox has to survive a 100km road section back to service, no one knows if it will hold on or not." / "Dopoledne bylo blízko ke katastrofě. Teď nás čeká 100 km do servisu, snad to převodovka přežije." | |||||||||
| SS7 | Clocaenog 2 | 7.67 km | 4:03.5 | 3. | 113.4 | 0.25 | 39:44.8 | 7. | |

| SS8 | Brenig 2 | 29.13 km | 16:37.7 | 3. | 105.1 | 0.25 | 56:22.5 | 5. | |
| "I tried to push hard, the time is not great but I pushed as much as I could on this one. There are more cars in front that we need to catch." / "Jel jsem, co to šlo, čas nic moc. Musíme se soustředit na jezdce před námi." | |||||||||
| SS9 | Penmachno 2 | 16.95 km | 10:20.0 | 5. | 98.4 | 0.21 | 1:06:42.5 | 5. | |

| SS11 | Sweet Lamb Hafren 1 | 19.95 km | 11:49.2 | 6. | 101.3 | 0.49 | 1:29:17.9 | 2. | |
| "I don't know, it is a bit more slippy. Hopefully the guys behind are not going that fast. I think it is getting more slippery so it is good to be in the front. Craig is doing a good time also. I'm not managing to be on the limit in there - it is tricky." / "Doufám, že ti za námi také nebudou moc rychlí." | |||||||||

| "I had a good first stage - a big push - but now there is a little less grip so we can't push like we did earlier." / "Dnes jsem ráno zabral, na dalších to moc nešlo, není dost gripu." | |||||||||
| SS14 | Dyfnant | 8.30 km | 4:29.8 | 6. | 110.7 | 0.19 | 1:51:41.2 | 2. | |
| "It is really, really close, up to position five it is only a 10 second gap so it is going to be a close fight." / "Je to těsné, do pátého místa jsme v 10 vteřinách, musím jet stále naplno." | |||||||||
| SS15 | Myherin 2 | 20.28 km | 10:37.9 | 1. | 114.5 | 2:02:19.1 | 2. | ||
| "The guys behind are interesting! The day is very nice to be honest, very beautiful. Not as hard a push as this morning as the tyres are not as easy to manage." / "Dnes je krásný den. Nemohl jsem jet naplno, musel jsem brát ohled na pneumatiky." | |||||||||
| SS16 | Sweet Lamb Hafren 2 | 19.95 km | 11:29.2 | 2. | 104.2 | 0.13 | 2:13:48.3 | 1. | |

| "It is a big fight for sure since the beginning of the day with us and Craig and Esapekka. It is a shame for Ott, he was definitely on another level this weekend. Now we are fighting for a win, not second place any more." | |||||||||
| SS18 | Gartheiniog 2 | 11.26 km | 6:48.8 | 5. | 99.2 | 0.46 | 2:31:22.5 | 1. | |
| "I don't know, Craig is doing good times just ahead of me. Honestly, I'm flat out, I think the car doesn't suit these stages. I'm giving it everything I can and I'll do the same tomorrow." / "Dal jsem tomu dnes vše, ale tyhle zkoušky našemu autu moc nevyhovují." | |||||||||
| 3. leg | |||||||||
| SS19 | Elsi | 10.06 km | 7:21.4 | 3. | 82.0 | 0.43 | 2:38:43.9 | 1. | |
| "I don't know, I think it was a very tricky start with very tricky conditions. I didn't want to do a mistake, but that's how it is." / "Hodně těžký začátek a já nechci udělat chybu." | |||||||||
| SS20 | Gwydir 1 (Power Stage) | 14.76 km | 9:36.9 | 3. | 92.1 | 0.36 | 2:48:20.8 | 2. | |

| SS23 | Great Orme Llandudno 2 | 7.43 km | 3:59.3 | 1. | 111.8 | 3:06:12.5 | 1. | ||
| "It was a huge weekend, it was such a tough fight! Ott was so far ahead and then he had his trouble, and then Jari-Matti was so strong. I didn't think I'd make it in the forests, it was so tough, but asphalt is a surface I like and we managed to secure the victory." / "Byl to hodně náročný víkend. Ott měl velký náskok, ale pak měl problém. Jari-Amtti byl také velmi silný. Myslím, že na asfaltu jsem rozhodl." | |||||||||
