| It is a good start. Very technical stage and also tricky. I am getting a bit advantage from the road position, I dont need to clean the road. | ||||||

| We lost some time in the morning, but it is a long rally and we just try to keep the car on the road. Its still possible to drive onto the podium, but we cannot afford any more mistakes | ||||||

| I do not know, Seb was going well. Maybe the problem is in my head, because I was little bit careful sometimes. Mikko had great time, but we have to fight until the finish. | ||||||

| Jari-Matti is pushing hard through the stage, he hit the bank but the car is not damaged. | ||||||
| We pushed quite hard. But we could see from the splits that we cannot catch Sebastien. Regarding our fight for the second place - I do not want to take any stupid risk. | ||||||

|
| Nebýt chyby, kdy jsme ztratili spustu drahoceného času, mohli jsme vyhrát. To je ale už na úrovni spekulací, jsme v cíli a spokojení. Uvidíme v Řecku. | ||||||
