"I think you can not gain so much on this stage, but you can lose a lot. We are trying to find every single second and it's part of the game in the super special stages. We tried to do our best and it's good that we are the fastest through."
SS2 Březová 1 (12.73 km)	8:31.3	11. 9. class RC2 7. ERC 7. Czech Republic	89.6 km/h 1.30 s/km	15:38.4	6. 5. class RC2 3. ERC 4. Czech Republic
"I was told it would be fully dry in the first section, so I made a very late decision and put four medium compound slicks on. After the start it was very wet, so we were aquaplaning everywhere!"
SS3 Držková 1 (24.32 km)	13:47.3	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic	105.8 km/h	29:25.7	2. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 2. Czech Republic
SS4 Semetín 1 (11.51 km)	6:38.3	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic	104.0 km/h	36:04.0	2. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 2. Czech Republic
"It's really tricky. It started to rain after the start, so I think like 70 per cent of the stage was damp."
SS5 Březová 2 (12.73 km)	7:48.2	2. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 2. Czech Republic	97.9 km/h 0.41 s/km	43:52.2	2. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 2. Czech Republic
"It's much better than the morning! The stages are fully dry except for some places in the forest. The car is working well, so we try to do our best."
SS6 Držková 2 (24.32 km)	13:41.5	2. 2. class RC2 2. ERC 2. Czech Republic	106.6 km/h 0.03 s/km	57:33.7	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"In the seconds pass there were some sections where grip was even worse than in the morning. In some places I had understeer in third or fourth gear"
SS7 Semetín 2 (11.51 km)	6:33.2	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic	105.4 km/h	1:04:06.9	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"For sure, we are trying to control our pace a little bit because we don't want to make any stupid mistakes. This one was also very tricky. Luckily we were not flat-out."
2. leg
SS8 Bunč 1 (15.20 km)	8:40.3	3. 3. class RC2 2. ERC 2. Czech Republic	105.2 km/h 0.08 s/km	1:12:47.2	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"We have RB7+ Pirelli tyres and a lot of mud is coming out from the cuts. We need to be cautious of the mud in every corner and it doesn't make sense to make a big mistake."
SS9 Maják 1 (13.20 km)	7:39.4	9. 8. class RC2 7. ERC 5. Czech Republic	103.4 km/h 1.16 s/km	1:20:26.6	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"We had really heavy rain and a lot of aquaplaning. We just had to be really cautious."
SS10 Pindula 1 (19.54 km)	10:39.7	4. 4. class RC2 4. ERC 3. Czech Republic	110.0 km/h 0.10 s/km	1:31:06.3	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"I was just pushing in the dry places. When you go out in the forest as 15th car in the road, all the cuts are full of mud. Otherwise, the car was working well and in the dry conditions it was incredible to drive."
SS11 Bunč 2 (15.20 km)	9:55.4 [N]	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic	91.9 km/h	1:41:01.7	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic

"I want to bring the car home in first place and with this weather it's really tricky. If you take risks you can take a lot of time back, but it can also be a big crash. This aquaplaning is something crazy."
SS13 Pindula 2[Power Stage] (19.54 km)	10:57.4	4. 4. class RC2 4. ERC 2. Czech Republic	107.0 km/h 0.60 s/km	1:59:27.6	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC 1. Czech Republic
"This one was one of the most difficult win of them all because the conditions were really crazy. Even today, the rain was following us on every single stage. Thanks a lot to everyone who was helping us - it was a very good weekend for us."
