| "It felt quite slippery so I didn't know how I was driving, but now obviously I can see we have a road cleaning advantage. I saw Thierry - his car is off the road after a fast section. The car was pointing in the wrong way. Both crew were fine." | ||||||

| "It was going really, really well until the end. I touched a rock and straightaway I thought we had a puncture but it was okay - a little panic. The time is a surprise - I was expecting to be equal with Seb here." | ||||||

| "I started with a good rhythm. I pushed a bit harder between 10km and 50km but nearing 60km I started to lose the rear brakes and I had to be safe on the final 20km. It was a smart move. I found the stage easier than El Chocolate." | ||||||

| "A fantastic feeling. After such a difficult start to the season my mind was not so good. This has not been a strong rally for me in the past. This is the first time I have driven it with no problems. I knew Seb would go for three bonus points but I had to be a bit more careful - so to secure two points is perfect." | ||||||
