10. 05. 2014 22:07 CET 		8 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Difficult. It is changing, when it is dark it is slippy. Maybe it was too careful, but better to be here.

10. 05. 2014 22:01 CET 		8 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): Ok, no problem. I made the car a little bit softer, good for the mud and the damp conditions. Not so good for the rough, it is bottoming in some places.

10. 05. 2014 21:23 CET 		6 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): I am running my pace. Very fast stage in many places. I knew in some places my pace notes would be too slow, but ok.

10. 05. 2014 21:17 CET 		6 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was not a perfect run. I was a bit too careful, but I did my best.
10. 05. 2014 16:17
10. 05. 2014 21:17 CET 		6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I had quite ok rhythm but on all these small jumps I have no confidence. I need to learn a little bit more. Today some of the small jumps are on the fast straights and I lose time there.

09. 05. 2014 21:43 CET 		5 flash info (35 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj): No anti-lag, no windscreen wipers, the heated screen is not working. Very difficult.

09. 05. 2014 16:43
09. 05. 2014 21:43 CET 		5 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It has been good day, it is really not easy for me i narrow stages. With this hairpin and the tight corners, twice I had to stop on the hairpin. I know my limitations but I will try to improve them. I know it is not easy but I think today has been a really good day.
09. 05. 2014 16:24
09. 05. 2014 21:24 CET 		5 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): It's fantastic stage, really enjoy it. I struggled on the last 15 kilometres down the hill. I am really happy. We went on the soft option on this loop and I think we managed quite well.

09. 05. 2014 16:20
09. 05. 2014 21:20 CET 		5 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's carnage, we were frustrated this morning with the pace we could go. Its a tough rally and we have to bear that in mind. We have had instructions to go slowly and learn the stages.
09. 05. 2014 16:17
09. 05. 2014 21:17 CET 		5 retired (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): technical problem - alternator in SS 5

09. 05. 2014 15:33
09. 05. 2014 20:33 CET 		4 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Very hard and we made a puncture. But the car is okay, it was very difficult to get out of the rock in the line. Even worse than the years before, it is not easy.
09. 05. 2014 15:33
09. 05. 2014 20:33 CET 		4 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Its very rough, but the car is working well. I am enjoying it. Some bits are like Finland and some bits are like Greece.
09. 05. 2014 15:32
09. 05. 2014 20:32 CET 		4 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was fine, I try to take caution in the very rough places. It was not so bad. There was a stone on the line and I just slide out of the line. On the landing I land on the stone, very small impact nothing really bad.
09. 05. 2014 15:32
09. 05. 2014 20:32 CET 		4 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): No problems, try to go fast where you and and take it easy when it is rough. The rythmn is really nice, try to find the right level.
09. 05. 2014 15:32
09. 05. 2014 20:32 CET 		4 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I tried to be a little bit more careful because of the ditches and compressions. But I am happy with the way we did it. One of the deep holes, maybe I arrive too fast and the mud came on the side a lot, no moment, just lost the line a little bit.
09. 05. 2014 15:32
09. 05. 2014 20:32 CET 		4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was not so good the first one, but I will try my best.
09. 05. 2014 14:43
09. 05. 2014 19:43 CET 		3 flash info (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): A problem with a turbo pipe in the first stage. The turbo was a little bit broke and impossible to fix. I try to fix but was very hot and was impossible.
09. 05. 2014 14:43
09. 05. 2014 19:43 CET 		3 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Everything is ok, although in gravel in twisty parts and operating the handbrake with one hand is difficult for me. I realise that I can improve but not here. Hopefully we finish the rally and take it from here.
09. 05. 2014 14:42
09. 05. 2014 19:42 CET 		3 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I really enjoyed the first stage and I was extra cautious. In here I loved the stage but found it difficult to get a good rhythm. I really enjoyed it. The car is absolutely beautiful.
09. 05. 2014 14:42
09. 05. 2014 19:42 CET 		3 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I try to stay in the line and let the car go. Not so bad stage like than before so happy. Lot of stones so you have to be careful.
09. 05. 2014 14:42
09. 05. 2014 19:42 CET 		3 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was distracting in the beginning, but I felt quite quickly. I took it quite carefully on the rough places. In the slippy places there is no traction at all.
09. 05. 2014 14:42
09. 05. 2014 19:42 CET 		3 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A bit of everything in there. We are here to learn and it is essential to get through safely to get all the experience we need. Its so new, you have to concentrate fully.
09. 05. 2014 14:41
09. 05. 2014 19:41 CET 		3 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Everything was going well then I hit a stone on the front right and then I more or less lost power steering for 20 kilometres.

09. 05. 2014 19:41 CET 		3 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good stage. For me it was surprisingly good grip, it was damp in places and was still giving good grip.
09. 05. 2014 14:41
09. 05. 2014 19:41 CET 		3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The drive was safe, some section were ok, still a little bit damp. Some section were very dry and in these sections I am going to lose a little bit time. But everything ok.

09. 05. 2014 19:40 CET 		2 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Very tricky, and the cars that are off stage shows just how tricky it was. It was also very rough in there. We were very cautious in there, rough and very tricky.

09. 05. 2014 19:38 CET 		2 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): A difficult stage a lot of compressions. There were a couple of ones that you did not expect. Only 4 kilometres into the stage the intercom went very silent, luckily it kept working, I was worried I would lose the notes.
09. 05. 2014 14:38
09. 05. 2014 19:38 CET 		2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): No problem ok. For me it was ok, it was better than expected, being first on the road it was okay. We knew it was going to be a long rally and hard work for the mechanics.
