| "Really tough stage, conditions are tough and the narrow parts are getting really muddy and slippery. The next stages should come back to us a little bit more." | ||||||

| "This stage was better, the conditions didn't quite work to our strategy - we couldn't use the two spare tyres so we're just carrying round extra weight." | ||||||

| "It is too damp for us this morning, we had to put our two hard tyres on for this one otherwise we would have had nothing left for the next one." | ||||||

| We were hoping for a bit more sun. It's difficult at the moment but we'll see. The weather is very changeable at the moment so it is difficult to see what this afternoon will bring. | ||||||

| "It's not nice to drive at all! I'm just happy to finish this stage, irrelevant of what the time is. We overshot at one junction and had to reverse back." | ||||||

| "It is just impossible to choose the right tyres. A hard tyre should work in here all the time but it seems like everything we've done today is wrong." | ||||||

| "I enjoyed it, it is a bit muddy near the end but the conditions are nice to drive. One jump gave us a good old knock on the head but it was all okay." | ||||||

| "Didn't push really, just driving to the conditions. It's just sweeping at the moment. The cars behind will be faster but our focus is on Mads. This stage is a lot drier than the last one but still a few damp patches." | ||||||

|
| "It is the first time since shakedown since the car has felt good again. We haven't done anything to the set-up, the conditions are just coming to the car. There is a bit of sweeping but not as much as there has been in the past." | ||||||

| I think it is ok for this loop, but hey you've got to try these things some times. I'll tell you at the end of the loop if it worked or not. | ||||||

| "It is a good way to start. Just keep it nice and smooth, the line that is there is quite small but I'm trying to utilise it. I'm a bit cautious on this one after what happened last year so I took it easy at the start!" | ||||||

| "Just managing the gap now. 10sec is reasonably comfortable in these stages. You'd like to drive faster, but points are more important." | ||||||

| "Obviously we wanted more, but things didn't click this weekend. But we wanted a clean rally this weekend and we got that. It's the first time in three years that I've finished this rally. I'm hopeful Thierry can win." | ||||||
