The road conditions are very good. The overnight rain has made the road slightly damp. Lots of spectators are enjoying the stage.

Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
There was some damage to the front of the car. "I don’t know where that happened. I was flat out but Mikko is flying."

Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia
"It was more slippery than the first stage."

Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
The windscreen on Hirvonen’s car was cracked. "I used my old lines. The damage appeared a bit before the finish so it was not that bad but the visibility is not too good."

Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila
"For some reason this stage doesn’t really suit me even though it’s quite nice. There was no drama or anything. We’ll just have to improve the next time."

Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
"There was a little bit of loose gravel but the stage is nice."

Matthew Wilson/Scott Martin
"The last part was quite tricky. There was a lot of loose gravel on the top."

Henning Solberg/Ilka Minor
"The engine stalled on the stage. I also had a puncture. The right front is down."

Kimi Räikkönen/Kaj Lindström
Co-driver: "The road is quite soft so I think the boys at the front have the best advantage."

Mads Östberg/ Jonas Andersson
"On the first two stages of this morning everything was fine. My pace notes are working, but I feel I’m not pushing enough. There is more to come. I still need to find the best pace and rhythm."

Khalid Al Qassimi/Michael Orr
"Lots of loose gravel. I didn’t have a good confidence."

Juha Kankkunen/Juha Repo
"I’m being a bit too careful and trying to find the correct braking points."

Mattias Therman/Janne Perälä
"We made an easy start to find a good rhythm. The car is going very well. I just need the driver to do the same."

Jari Ketomaa/Mika Stenberg
"We tried a bit too hard. We visited the ditch once or twice. "

Per Gunnar Andersson/Anders Fredriksson
"My driving is OK but the time was crap. I’m missing power; the car is very lazy."

Martin Prokop/Jan Tománek
"The local guys are much faster."

Patrik Sandell/Emil Axelsson
"We keep on trying. That’s the only thing we can do."

Michal Kosciuszko/Maciek Szczepaniak
"I haven’t found the confidence in the car yet so I am not driving flat out."

Janne Tuohino/Marko Sallinen
"The steering wheel became loose after a jump. It’s a bit difficult to drive without a steering wheel." With a slightly sarcastic tone: "Once again, it’s a wonderful start for us."

Juho Hänninen/Mikko Markkula
"It’s a bit heavy when there’s no turbo on the car but it’s the same for all in our group."

Matti Rantanen/Mikko Lukka
"I changed into too small a gear in some places."

Patrik Flodin/Göran Bergström
"I can’t do anything more, but the times are not coming. This car is not as fast as my previous Mitsubishi, which has a 32mm restrictor.

Hayden Paddon/John Kennard
"The notes are only average and the car has some vibration at the rear, which affects my confidence a little. Maybe it is a damper problem."

Paulo Nobre/Eduardo Paula
"I am so disappointed. The transmission has broken on this stage. I think we have to retire. I will talk to the team to see what we can do, but the same has also happened before in another rally."

Martin Semerad/Michal Ernst
"The steering column is probably broken. The car is impossible to drive."

Ott Tänak/Kuldar Sikk
"Some big stones are appearing on the road so it is rough in some places. You have to drive around the stones.¨

Alessandro Bruschetta/Edoardo Civiero
"The gravel roads here are completely different from the gravel roads in Italy."

Juha Salo/Jarkko Kalliolepo
"I’m driving a bit too much sideways."
