"I hope we can have a good result. The car feels really nice on Tarmac, really enjoyable. I hope for nicer weather than the rain that is forecast."

"We are pushing hard and taking risks but we have to. There is so much gravel on the roads here and I'm trying to limit the lime loss. I like this stage. The car is really, really nice."
SS4 Grafschaft 1 (18.35 km)	10:50.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	101.6 km/h	31:16.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"This was not really a perfect drive, two small mistakes so I'm not really happy with that run. I haven't done well on this stage before so studied the onboards and finally I mastered it! The car is amazing."
SS5 SSS Wadern-Weiskirchen 2 (9.27 km)	5:19.4	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	104.5 km/h 0.38 s/km	36:36.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"They were the right choice for me. This stage was a mud bath near the end. For me I had no choice, I had to go for these. I'm happy not to lose more time from this position on the road."
SS7 Grafschaft 2 (18.35 km)	11:20.8	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	97.0 km/h 0.29 s/km	1:01:31.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I think we did a very good stage. The tyre was a little bit too much for the grip, but a clean stage. I'm very happy to be in this position at this point in the rally. Tomorrow we will be in a better place in the start order."
SS8 SSS Wadern-Weiskirchen 3 (9.27 km)	5:56.9	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	93.5 km/h 0.22 s/km	1:07:28.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Really, really happy. We are pushing to the maximum. The conditions are getting worse so the only drivers we can compare to are the ones around us [in the start order]. We're 10 sec quicker that Kris so that shows how hard we are pushing."

"Much drier than we thought, we should have put two hard tyres on. Okay, I did a clever stage, I didn't push the tyres too much, a bit too cautious maybe."
SS11 Freisen 1 (14.78 km)	9:10.3	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	96.7 km/h 0.70 s/km	1:43:16.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

"I think both me and Seb are pushing to the maximum - I know I am. I'm enjoying the fight, I hope it goes all the way to the last stage tomorrow - that would be cool. My confidence in the car is getting better and better with every kilometre."
SS17 Römerstraße 2 (12.28 km)	6:12.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	118.6 km/h 0.07 s/km	2:31:53.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

"A great weekend for myself, Anders and the whole Citroen team," he says. "A difficult rally, especially the conditions on the opening day. I really pushed to the limit. Yesterday and today were good drives, some small mistakes but we have to be happy with this. Will I be back in the C3 again? If it feels like this I would like to do more."
