| "We touched a bank quote heavily somewhere around 10kms. I saw Ott had stooped, Kalle is stopped, so it didn't really give much confidence. IT was messy, no grip at all. The time is really bad. | ||||||

| "I drove smartly. But I think Gregoire doesn't have the experience to know how to drive on these conditions so the line is fully f***ed for me. He's been everywhere. I see there is the line but in the end he's put some snow in it. For sure one of the most challenging snow stages I've done." | ||||||

| "It is tough to understand what kind of speed you should do. You go a couple of centimeters wrong and you're done because you cannot control anything. It's not aquaplaning – it's snowplaning. Even if you are safe you can still lose it. But it feels pretty safe for the moment." | ||||||

| "Felt way too slow! Sounds like we did the fastest time so it's OK! The visibility is...bwoah. You can't use all the extra lights so you have to go with a low beam. And when you're driving over 160 it's a bit crazy when you can't see far. But you have to trust the notes." | ||||||

| "We need to take the confidence from today and start to concentrate for the rest of the rally. For sure I used the road position advantage clearly in the afternoon. In the morning as well but I also wasn't too slow against Kalle in the beginning, so I'm fairly satisfied with that." | ||||||

| "All OK. I was very clean on the narrow road. I could have pushed more and used the banks but better to do it this way." | ||||||

| "I'm relly sorry for Taka. He had great speed last year, also this year maybe even better. A big shame. But these things can happen. The banks can be your friend until you use them too much. It's going to be a long two days." | ||||||

| "I was always safe but I don't know what else I should do, to be honest. The time is what it is. We are not touching the banks. The last kilometers were really messy. All the other 25km, no touching." | ||||||

| "Is it really tricky? But it's very abrasive, like crazy, for the tires. In the beginning, I tried to drive and keep some rhythm but then I realized it's too tough for the tires so I slowed down to save them." | ||||||

| "For sure, it's quite tire management. It will be really bad with the tires - we still need them on the last one which will be full ice, so keeping that in mind." | ||||||

| "It's almost over - one to go. I've been trying to save the tires the whole afternoon and still be smart in terms of the pace. Let's see, do we have some studs left for the last one." | ||||||

| "Quite OK - I think it was fairly OK conditons for the second pass. I would say it's the best stage of the rally, defintiely. I was a bit faster than in the morning - I had nicer rhythm. Still not the way I would like to drive. So far it's been in our control so I'm not too stressed about it." | ||||||

| "F***ing good! I've been hunting for this second victory for quite a while. I would like to thank a millions but probably I'll forget many of them. But many thanks to Cyril, he kept me in the team after a very bad second half last year. It's quite a massive contrast from that moment until now. So thanks to the team. And family as well." | ||||||
