Info
"Not so bad. I'm happy with my driving. I tried to push. The car feels okay."
"The feeling is good to start the rally. Maybe I could have been quicker in a few places but the performance of the car was good."
"I made a small mistake on the first corner and lost a few seconds. After that maybe I didn't push enough. Still, a good start."
"A nice little stage here, to be honest. A steady run. No dramas."
"We missed a junction here - it's not easy to see them in the dark."
"I can do a little bit better. No mistakes here, but in a few places I wasn't fast enough. Okay, I'm happy at the moment but there is a hard rally ahead."
"It felt pretty diabolical to be honest. I struggled to see where I was going in the dark. But hey, we got around with no mistakes. It all stats tomorrow."
"I was trying to be clean and smooth here. I'm looking forward to the battle ahead. It will be maximum attack. I'm looking forward to getting out of bed in the morning."
"Yeah, a good clean run, no mistakes."
"Nice stage - I took it a bit carefully."
"It was okay. This one is not an easy stage. I was pushing the limit in the cuts but, hey, it's the shortest way."
"Slippery and not a very good stage for me. I had a problem at a junction. Okay, otherwise enjoyable - a cool stage. The real rally starts tomorrow."
"A lot of fun - I like stages like this. Not easy after just one pass on the recce though."
"There is a huge weekend ahead. These stages are so fast and rough - it's a big challenge for the R5 car. I think we are ready!"
"A big mistake. Okay, it causes us no problem but tomorrow I must be better."
"A fantastic event - this was my first rally outside Mexico in 2007. I love the rally. This stage is really nice."
"I'm very excited. My co-driver is a local and there's a lot of support for us here. We pushed in there, touched a few sand bags, but we are very committed!"
"A beautiful crowd in the stages - it's wonderful to have a rally like this in my country! This is my first time in the Skoda and it feels really good."
"It's difficult to judge the grip in the sandy sections. I'm happy to be here though!"
