(8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane):
We always knew it was going to be a tough event. This afternoon has been a bit tricky but I have been pacing myself, a little bit sensible and not taking any risks.
(11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja):
The times are improving, its difficult to be here in this kind of times. I am not taking any big risks, it is okay for the first day.
(10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej):
Today is going okay. I will be happy to keep this pace, it is quite tricky and difficult to approach these stage for the first time. We have to stay on the road.
(21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan):
Stages are really difficult, we had quite good day and only 2 more stages to go. The problem is how slippy it is.
(7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I push like hell in this stage. It's nice, I enjoy the car.
(6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel):
To be honest we have gone with a cautious approach, we have two spare wheels in the car.
(4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas):
Nothing difficult, its just been not perfect. We need to learn a lot of things. We just carry on trying, to be honest I am quite happy with what we have been doing. Now we need to move as little as possible and push again tomorrow morning.
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien):
It's been a really good day, just super special to go then we finish the day. It's a tough rally, we see this afternoon it is very hot, the rally for sure is still very long.
(2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka):
It is a shame the boys have had problems but it is a tough event. The roads are nice but the second time there are rocks and they are not forgiving. It has been a pretty good day, the afternoon has not been any easier.
