4: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miika Anttila
“Stage nine was frightening, it was so slippy. I also think I had a slow puncture towards the end. Maybe I touched a log at the end of the stage.”

12: Per-Gunnar Andersson/Jonas Andersson
“I am using my left foot far too much! I need to brake less!”

2: Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
“We spent a lot of time on the recce marking exactly where the ice was, which explains our time in SS9.”

7: Francois Duval/Denis Giraudet
“We’re not sure if the car is working quite right. The split times show we are fast in the quick sections, but losing lots of time in the fiddly bits.”

3: Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
“The conditions have been tricky. When you see the sun, that’s when you have to be careful. Frozen gravel gives quite good grip, but if the ice melts a little it gets slippy.”

11: Toni Gardemeister/Tomi Tuominen
“In stage 11 the car suddenly lost all its power, and then it came back again. Odd.”

20: Barry Clark/Paul Nagle
“I went off four times in three stages, but at least I never had to come to a standstill.”

22: Gareth Jones/Clive Jenkins
“I’ve got a transmission problem that is trying to spin the car the whole time. It’s not the ice, it’s the car.”

46: Valentino Rossi/Carlo Cassina
“I’ve made no mistakes. I’m hoping the sunshine will clear the frozen sections.”

21: Eamonn Boland/Damien Morrissey
“I’m not used to rallying on ice. It’s tough.”

55: Patrik Sandell/Emil Axelsson
“This car is much more suited to the fast, wide stages we have today. I have much more of a rhythm.”

60: Guy Wilks/Phil Pugh
“First a low-lying branch knocked our cut-off switch off in the first stage. Then in a long left-hander in the next stage we had a huge moment. After that the turbocharger broke.”

44: Patrik Flodin/Goran Bergsten
“I had a spin in SS11”

41: Andreas Aigner/Klaus Wicha
“It’s so tricky. To win the Production championship I need to be third or higher, so I must push. I’m third now, but Wilks is one place behind. When it’s so slippery you don’t want the pressure of having to push hard.”

40: Loris Baldacci/Rudy Pollet
“The turbo pipe disconnected in SS11, which cost us time.”

146: Jari Ketomaa/Miika Teiskonen
“We changed the turbo last night, and it’s a little better now.”

49: Simone Campedelli/Danilo Fappani
Retired with rear right suspension arm damage.
