“The stage is nice, it’s really enjoyable but it’s just dirty and tricky. It’s also new for everyone and there is a lot of pollution. It’s difficult to find a good rhythm because some places are really slippery.”

“In the beginning it was interesting. In the end… I go with the hard tyres and in the last part there was too much sliding, more than the first pass. I was expecting it would be hot enough but, it’s okay, there is no drama, we need to drive and do our job.”

“Tomorrow will be a tough day. This stage was quite demanding. In the first part you want to take the cuts but inside something says… but you need to be really like caution a little bit but still trying to take the edge a little bit. No problems, no big hits and the roundabout was quite okay this time. With this set up it was nice.”
3. leg
SS17 Trakošćan - Vrbno 1 (13.15 km)	7:29.3	13. 6. class RC2 13. WRC 5. WRC2 2. WRC2 Challenger	105.4 km/h 2.49 s/km	2:34:26.7	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
“I was sliding so much in the damp conditions at the end. Not easy, for sure I am trying to not let him escape. We will see. We need to keep pressure on him, I have no choice, I have to drive.”
SS18 Zagorska Sela - Kumrovec 1 (14.09 km)	8:36.5	10. 2. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	98.2 km/h 2.01 s/km	2:43:03.2	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
“There was a jump on the last part, I felt like the jump is good so I put full throttle but I land on the kerb a little bit. I gess the rim is bent there seems to be the pressure on so let’s see how it looks like. But, okay, it’s a nice stage, it was enjoyable. For sure Yohan is also trying. It’s not easy but the stage is nice. It’s quite dirty, I was not expecting this. The cuts are making it a really difficult stage.”
SS19 Trakošćan - Vrbno 2 (13.15 km)	7:26.7	10. 3. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	106.0 km/h 1.84 s/km	2:50:29.9	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
“For sure we need to work on the Power Stage, let’s see. One stage to go, something can stage, if you do good then it’s clear but let’s see. It’s rallying still.”
SS20 Zagorska Sela - Kumrovec 2[Power Stage] (14.09 km)	8:31.8	14. 7. class RC2 14. WRC 6. WRC2 2. WRC2 Challenger	99.1 km/h 1.80 s/km	2:59:01.7	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
“A good result after all the adventures which we had on this rally. This stage was fun, maybe I tried in some places too much and in a few cuts we just jumped so high. I was expecting the puncture because it was really horrible but it’s all good. This one is a really demanding stage. Unfortunately the time is not what I wanted to have, it’s a really difficult stage.”
