flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I think we have to really think about the championship, for sure. We know that it will be tough for the car and also for us, and opening the road here means a win will be quite difficult. We have to be clever.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. I think it's going to be tough and the conditions will be loose and also quite rough. I hope we can do a good rally and we feel well-prepared. It will be interesting to see what the tyre choices will be now compared to tomorrow.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It was quite slippery - more than I expected - but everything feels good. The car feels good. It's going to be a very changeable weekend so I need to be smart and make no mistakes. If I make no mistakes by the end of tomorrow then it will be good.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Let's see. It's the first time here in this car. We went with the full hard tyres so it was quite slippery, but we had a good run.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): This is just a small test of what's to come, obviously, but it's good to get off to a nice start. It actually didn't feel too great to be honest, but we'll see what happens this weekend.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I feel good. I went wide in a corner where I needed to be clean and pushed all the dust in front of myself. Today felt nice and I was comfortable with the car, so let's see.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): The team forgot to put a lead in the car, so I can't connect to the intercom! I hope we can find a spare one, otherwise there's no point in doing tomorrow.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): We will try to do our best. It's a difficult rally and it's very easy to make a mistake everywhere.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): In one place I was ten metres too wide, but it was super slippery! I expected more grip to be honest and it looked like the first cars had good grip, but maybe it was going the other way now. A bit too spectacular, but we will calm down now and focus again for tomorrow.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): We will try to do a good rally and to be at the end will be the goal.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): We will try to do our best to get to the end, but it will be a big challenge for the drivers and cars. Many things can happen on this rally, we know that.
flash info (22 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We have been strong here in the WRC, but let's see what we can do. The start was okay, but we have to try and be clever with tyres this weekend.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The atmosphere is good and the jump is nice, but it was very slippery! I made a lot of mistakes, but you just need to survive this kind of stage.
flash info (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): The game plan is to drive a clever rally. I have started this rally so many times and it's a very difficult event, especially this year with everything being so warm and rough. I will try to use my experience to see where we can push and be clever.
flash info (25 - Rossel Yohan / Sarreaud Valentin): The plan is to continue like this. We will see - the car is good and I am happy after shakedown. We want to do no mistakes and keep our focus on getting maximum points for the championship.
flash info (27 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): For sure it will not be easy here...
retired (43 - Kremer Armin / Kremer Ella): retired before start
