Info
puncture
"I didn't know with the tyres in the abrasive parts so I pushed a bit more, I lost a bit too much in the first stage when I wasn't pushing as hard. I knew the last 30% of the stage was humid and then all of a sudden there was standing water."
"The grip was very low most of the way through and towards the end there were some corners which were like ice - I think I just about judged corners in time! I think we could have gone softer on the tyres but it's difficult when it's dry in the previous stage."
"I tried to push like hell. In the middle of the stage the hard tyres worked really well. At the end I pushed like hell because it was moving at the rear - some standing water in places."
"It is hard to be faster than him, but hard tyres in the mud meant no grip at all. I think we were better in the mid-section when it was a bit drier."
"It's really nice to be in the fight with a fellow Finn. Okay I don't know how this went, but it changed - damp like this, 200kph and under braking, it is quite a surprise!"
"I was caught out by the rain, it was raining in the beginning - very slippery on the hard tyres. On the bright gravel I couldn't see it was getting slippery."
