| "Okay, good! I like this direction. It was a little bit rougher with a lot more bedrock but I think this stage is staying very similar [to the morning]. The other two will be much more different." | ||||||

| "I am sure the referees will give us the time back. There was no point to take any risks in that kind of place when somebody has stopped. It was an okay stage - for sure Kalle is coming quite fast but I am more interested in Dani Sordo at the moment." | ||||||

| "It felt still slippery like in the morning, so I guess Kalle will beat us by 15 seconds! Quite clean driving but, on the other hand, quite a few mistakes because it was understeering in a lot of places." | ||||||
