"I think it was one of the easiest stages of the weekend - it was really dry and we can expect tougher conditions in the next one. The end of the stage was better for us even though the tyres were moving a lot." | |||||||
SS2 Bayons - Bréziers (25.49 km) | 16:49.2 | 2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC | 90.9 | 1.00 | 26:42.6 | 2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC | |
"I don't know - we have to see what the guys are doing behind with the studded tyres. We didn't take any risks and we could have gone faster, but this is only the beginning." | |||||||

"They are very clean tarmac stages at the moment so it's a bit more enjoyable. I hope Ott is okay - it was a very fast section where he went off with a big compression." | |||||||
