"It will be difficult to win, for sure we will try our best, tonight it was amazing to be here and race in front of the colloseum, on Sunday we have 200km in front of us waiting, but really happy to be back in Tarmac and here in Italy."
SS2 Guarcino - Altipiani di Arcinazzo 1 (11.72 km)	6:40.4	5. 5. class RC2 5. ERC	105.4 km/h 0.46 s/km	7:38.5	4. 4. class RC2 4. ERC
"We have to manage a bit more, it's not so bad. We know the other guys are fast, we'll try our best and let's see in the other stages."
SS3 Rocca di Cave - Subiaco 1 (32.30 km)	19:47.6	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC	97.9 km/h 0.59 s/km	27:26.1	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC
"It's the first time for me doing so much on one stage, I tried to keep the tyres at a good temp and it worked well I think. I need to find my limit and I will see for the other stages."
SS4 Affile - Bellegra 1 (7.32 km)	4:20.3	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC	101.2 km/h 0.46 s/km	31:46.4	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC
SS5 Guarcino - Altipiani di Arcinazzo 2 (11.72 km)	6:39.6	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC	105.6 km/h 0.35 s/km	38:26.0	5. 5. class RC2 5. ERC
"This stage was okay, the time was okay and the weather is getting warmer so the engine is pushing less, I think that it is all okay, we will see for the others, for sure the next one will be very tough."
SS6 Rocca di Cave - Subiaco 2 (32.30 km)	19:42.6	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC	98.3 km/h 0.61 s/km	58:08.6	4. 4. class RC2 4. ERC
"It's just me, nothing has changed, the car, the time and everything is the same. We just need to learn, learn and learn, nothing more. It was a bit tricky in these hot conditions but let's see for the last run of the day."
SS7 Affile - Bellegra 2 (7.32 km)	4:19.8	9. 9. class RC2 9. ERC	101.4 km/h 0.56 s/km	1:02:28.4	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC
"In the end I was 0.5sec faster than Bonato? No? At least it was a good day, it's better in the long stages, it was quite OK. Fighting with these big names is a pleasure for us."
2. leg
SS8 Fiuggi 1 (6.72 km)	3:43.9	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC	108.0 km/h 0.37 s/km	1:06:12.3	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC
"It was all okay, small stage to begin the day! It's important to be clean in the first pass, let's see the guys behind. Let's see the new one with the new virtual chicane and then we'll see the long one. This is after all the Power Stage so it's good to be clean."
SS9 Alatri 1 (6.96 km)	4:30.0	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC	92.8 km/h 0.57 s/km	1:10:42.3	7. 7. class RC2 7. ERC
"You have all the same effort with new stages, we are pushing and trying to find the limit and the only way for us to do that on the stage is look at the video and make the pace notes perfect. The time is not so bad, but Efren did a good time for sure. I was braking and braking around the virtual chicane but it was difficult."
SS10 Santopadre 1 (29.08 km)	17:33.6	8. 8. class RC2 7. ERC	99.4 km/h 0.55 s/km	1:28:15.9	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC
"I tried to save myself! It's very tough, the new part in the middle was OK but the other parts are difficult, we have to keep the pace with no mistakes, we avoided a couple of roc ks too. We saw [Heikkilä] go off. It's full of small stones."
SS11 Alatri 2 (6.96 km)	4:27.1	5. 5. class RC2 5. ERC	93.8 km/h 0.47 s/km	1:32:43.0	6. 6. class RC2 6. ERC
"I'm starting to understand the virtual chicane... it's strange because you brake in the middle of the road, when you arrive at 50km/h, you can go! It's okay."
SS12 Santopadre 2 (29.08 km)	20:24.9	55. 27. class RC2 33. ERC	85.5 km/h 6.30 s/km	1:53:07.9	12. 12. class RC2 11. ERC
Changed a tyre
"Every time there is something, every time we are giving good results. I really don't know what to say, I'm really sorry for this."
SS13 Fiuggi 2[Power Stage] (6.72 km)	3:41.4	1. 1. class RC2 1. ERC	109.3 km/h	1:56:49.3	11. 11. class RC2 10. ERC
"It was a great weekend for us, we went to the maximum and we tried to push, it's a good pace. It's a bit of bad luck, we were so close to a good result but it's life, it's part of the game. I would like to thank everyone supporting me, I'd like to thank Virgi because she's perfect when we race, I will see you at the next one! We hope to be there."
