"It's a pleasure to be here. I am really happy because we came back to our local Rally Poland and it's a good start for us. We have different targets, but the most important thing is to have fun with the driving and show our potential and experience on our home roads."
SS2 Krzywe 1 (15.20 km)	7:54.7	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel	115.3 km/h	9:45.3	2. 2. class RC2 1. class 2 2. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel
"That was good - we had a nice push. We are trying but probably Nil will push much harder. The rally has only just started."

"It's a really nice stage - a typical Polish one with a lot of sideways. We have a very good road position for this one because there is a lot of cleaning. We're just trying to drive and enjoy."
SS4 Wieliczki 1 (24.36 km)	11:59.4	3. 3. class RC2 1. class 2 3. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel	121.9 km/h 0.19 s/km	27:58.4	2. 2. class RC2 1. class 2 2. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel
"It's a sprint - it's flat-out. But for sure, driving here is quite easy compared to Amarante for twenty-seven minutes."

"I was too much to the inside in a bumpy part and we had a big jump, but we are here. I hope the rear wheel is okay because we have two stages to go."

"I am enjoying, but unfortunately I made some mistakes on the first stage of the loop and it's not so easy about the driving now because not everything is perfect. I am trying to be focused and to stay on the road. We have a long rally to go."
SS8 Mikołajki Arena 2 (2.50 km)	1:46.7	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel	84.3 km/h	55:36.8	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel
"I am very happy to be honest. It was a big day for us and this rally is something special for me because I made another step in my development. We drove today not only on stages we knew from the past, but we had also new stages which were very good. We are here and I am very happy. It's not good that Nil isn't here, but this is part of the rally game. Tomorrow is a long day, but I am in good shape and I will try."

"It's a good day. We are in Poland and I had a good night! Yesterday was one of the best days in my career and I would like to keep the same rhythm today."

"That was not an easy stage because we were a bit too soft with the tyres. I am trying to be focused and not make any mistakes, but we are thinking about what's happening in the rally. For sure, it's a good situation."
SS11 Miłki 1 (11.17 km)	5:35.9	8. 8. class RC2 3. class 2 7. ERC 3. Poland 3. Poland Gravel	119.7 km/h 0.43 s/km	1:16:54.0	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel
"This one was quite tricky because on the recce it looked very different. Maybe not a perfect run, but quite good. I am trying to be as good as possible without making any mistakes."
SS12 Mikołajki MAX 2 (9.34 km)	5:20.2	5. 5. class RC2 1. class 2 5. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel	105.0 km/h 0.19 s/km	1:22:14.2	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel

"It's quite tough. I made a fault on the last one and we had the radiator full of mud. We were very lucky it was just 1km to the finish and now I was just trying to go through. I am a little bit scared of the ruts, but it's all under control."
SS14 Miłki 2[Power Stage] (11.17 km)	5:27.5	6. 6. class RC2 2. class 2 6. ERC 2. Poland 2. Poland Gravel	122.8 km/h 0.37 s/km	1:38:05.4	1. 1. class RC2 1. class 2 1. ERC 1. Poland 1. Poland Gravel
"It was not easy. Yesterday was a really good day from our side - we were fast and we had luck too. It's a shame that Nil did not finish the day, but it was all part of the fast pace. Today was tough. The start was okay, but I started to think about the control of the rally and finally Tom was closer to us. I felt good in the Mikolajki MAX stage and decided to push the car to make some gaps, but one kilometre before the finish line we got some gravel in the radiator. We were lucky - a kilometre more and we would probably not have had an engine because the temperature was up to 140 degrees! We are here as the winners of Rally Poland. It's unbelievable because this shows me that my path of development and doing everything step by step is working. After some years we are fast and reliable, and we are on the finishing line."
