| "A lot cleaner than the previous stage - where I spun twice. Conditions here make it a bit more level with the cars - but on the tarmac they [the 2017-spec cars] are getting away from me." | ||||||

| "Unfortunately we had a problem with our phone between the stages so I couldn't speak to our gravel note crew. A network problem I think. I didn't get the ice notes for the last five kilometres. Frustrating." | ||||||

| "Getting the ice note info was difficult again, Scott was changing pace notes 10sec before we started. The drier the road gets the harder it is to fight with these guys. For me it's all about building experience - and wondering what it would be like to drive a 2017 car here." | ||||||
