"Driving really really carefuly, but after 10k we had a puncture.. win is lost.."
went out
"Jsme v cíli bez vážnější chyby. Chtěli jsme být kolem desítky, jsme 13."
stoped
Left rear puncture
"The people like the Porsche: the sound, different car, different spirit. I am pushing very hard.."
"We must be happy, we did some good times. We were in a very closed battle. We had a puncture, it’s like that. When you are 2nd behind Freddy, it’s a good result"
"I did good times sometimes. I had the rhythm to win this weekend, but I lost a lot of time with the puncture"
"Like we said: we got used to the new car and we weren't quick enough yesterday, but we believed in it..."
"Last 5 stages I didn't have 1st gear, didn't tell anyone otherwise they would push! Feels very good!"
"We had some incidents, it wasn’t easy. I’m really happy. It’s fantastic, I’m proud to be here."
"It was really difficult to came here and have confidence on this kind of event. So I’m really happy"
SS16
"I tried to drive safe, back to the service and hopefully on the podium. We try to keep this place."
"I pushed a lot more, I tried to make no mistake."
"I have some experience here and I know you start with a good car but your are not yet to the finish"
"Stage was smooth. Very smooth. No pressure, just cruising."
"It’s difficult to get the correct braking point. Much gravel on the road. But we are here. The 'big one’ to go"
stopped
SS15
puncture
byl mimo trať
"Pořád problémy s interkomem, stále v něm chrčí."
"Same corner as this morning. I follow my pacenote, easy left on a right flatout & it’s a puncture. It’s done, what can I do?"
"We have some popoff problems, or the turbo, don’t know. No risks as we have no spare tyre."
"First, we try to get to the finish. I’m only concentrated on the last 2 stages"
"I made a mistake, I missed a junction and went into a ditch."
"I lost some time with McCormack but it’s ok."
stopped - puncture
"This rally is incredible, you can make 4, 5 or 6. If I’m 4th in the end, it will be like a win."
SS14
"Potíže s intercomem. Davida slyším jen občas, jedu víceméně na oči."
"Quite happy with my driving, but Loix is catching up.. but what can I do."
"Puncture on the rear.. I think we got it in a left junction. But okay, it's rally."
puncture
"It's a part of the game and it's important for me to see what Bryan will do."
"Just trying to keep the pace, no mistake. It’s not over. Still long way to the the podium."
"I’m more relaxed. I’m focused on what I have to do, collect more mileage. Very good run, I’m happy"
" Ok. I’m driving to the end now. Make no sense to continue to push."
"More dirty. A lot of rubber in braking points.. easy to make a mistake. Okay, no problem."
SS13
"I don’t know what happened in the previous stage. It seems it was an electrical problem, we had to stop many times."
"Not so bad. I’m not on the limit. I’m trying my best but we have to be careful. Safe anyway."
"I'm pushing a bit more, lost time with the puncture, but now pushing on the limit."
"5 very important stages to go. But okay we will keep driving like this and see how Bryan will react."
"Still a long race. This stage was very difficult, we have short gearbox, but i'm happy."
"I don’t push anymore. I just go to the end. I just try to see the finish line"
SS12
stopped (suspect a fuel problem)
"Made a little mistake and went into a field, it blocked the radiator.." Car still won't start. Breen pushes the car off the finish line
"I don't know what happened.. it's rally."
"Bit slippery, I went wide and visited one field but okay. One more good time from Freddy..."
"It’s still a long way to go. Some things could be better. I had a nice feeling in the first part of the stage."

SS8
"I had a spin, I lost maybe 2 or 3 seconds. Same time with Romain. It will be a big fight."
"Quite okay. Trying to drive at the same pace as yesterday. No risks, nothing stupid."
"I wasn’t very confident. Not a good feeling. I will try to improve in the next one. I have to push."
"Sometimes it's very slippery. Rhythm is very good, good attack."
"Close to the start it was very slippery, went through a fence and into a field."
"I had a good feeling, a good attack but not so clean, not a good grip."
SS7
"This round was better for me. But tomorrow will be a long day."
"It’s working very well. I’m very happy."
"It will be very difficult, but it's the first time here with this car and we could improve some things."

SS6
"We get a puncture at the end of the previous stage, I had to change. I’m really sorry for Kevin."

SS5
"It happened (puncture) maybe 3 or 4 kms after the start."
"Lot of respect for the drivers in front of us. From my side, I had a good run."
"Kevin did a fantastic time. He’s very motivated! We had to improve. I don’t know his secret."
"I don’t know (why the front bumper is missing), maybe a mistake. Kevin did an incredible time!"
"We have to cut, we have to drive on the same line."
"I kept for the dry strategy with one for the rain as a spare."

SS3
"It’s a good time in this one. Back in the business!"
"We had a clean stage. It’s hard to find the good braking point. Have to control the tyre pressure."
"It’s quite good. I can improve some things on the car. I really want to win Ypres!"
SS2
"Two times I did not understand the pacenotes."
"Everybody says you have to cut here but I cut in a field."
"I have no good memories of the first corner so I was too bit cautious at the start."
"I did a mistake as well. It’s not my day! I went wide and my car hit a ditch in a junction."
"I have no feeling with the brakes, I put a big pressure on it. The car is moving a lot."
"We have to learn the car. I have to be cautious in some places."
"It’s a good 2nd stage. I started a little bit too agressive."
"Not so bad but I was a bit too cautious."
"Difficult stage for me. I think It’s not a good time. I hope a good time but I don’t think."
SS1
"Not so bad but the car is a little bit too soft at the rear."
stopped
"I’m ok but I expected more grip."
"Was okay, but unbelievably slippery. Suddenly, grip and then no grip. Easy to do a mistake."

"Fantastic in there. A bit messy towards the start, but it got better. We had a massive moment.."
"A bad start, I spun in a corner. I had to reverse. Despite this, the time is not bad."
"Some parts are very slippery but the stage was ok"
"The car is handling really well. Fantastic. I’m driving quite well."
