1: Sebastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
I’m trying to keep a good rhythm and keep good pace. But all seems good.”

2: Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
“It’s okay – the rain is better than fog.”

3: Marcus Gronholm/Timo Rautiainen
“I tried to go a little faster in there, but it wasn’t nice.”

4: Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
I’m quite happy with my pace. There were a lot of tight hairpins and junctions in there and I seemed to be struggling, as I didn’t seem to have a handbrake.”

5: Manfred Stohl/Ilka Minor
“There’s no problems. It’s important for me to finish the rally to be able to say good things about next year.”

7: Petter Solberg/Philip Mills
“We’re doing everything we can. It’s difficult finding the balance to make the car progressive.”

8: Chris Atkinson/Stephane Prevot
“I’m not happy with teh set-up and balance. I’m not surprised the time isn’t good.”

9: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miika Antilla
“I’m really enjoying the car and stages today. Everything is working well – especially the tyres.”

11: Luis Perez Companc/Jose Maria Volta
“We hit a gatepost in there, so there’s a lot of damage at the rear. It’s quite slippery in there, but I’m happier than yesterday.”

16: Matthew Wilson/Michael Orr
“That stage was good. I drove well. We had one big moment with a mistake in the notes, but that’s sorted now.”

17: Xavier Pons/Xavier Amigo
“We have a real problem. The right rear suspension is broken.”

18: Jan Kopecky/Filip Schovanek
“I’m not sure what’s wrong. We need to check the car over at service.”

20: Mads Ostberg/Ole Kristian Unnerud
“We’re struggling a little to be honest. The problem is more with us than the car.”
