4: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miika Anttila
“Not happy this morning being first on the road but this second time is better. The conditions are still a bit slippy out there but this was a much cleaner run. Unfortunately I don’t have a big enough lead to relax but I am hoping I won’t be first on the road tomorrow.”

1: Sebastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
“It is very difficult in there but the stage was good. I just have to keep my concentration and keep the speed consistent.”

12: Per-Gunnar Andersson/Jonas Andersson
“It felt OK in there until we span at one of the hairpins and stalled, losing five seconds, but apart from that we were lucky and haven’t damaged the car.”

18: Mads Ostberg/Ole Kristian Unnerud
“I am just happy to be here. When we went through this morning we had problems but it’s fine now. Conditions are more predictable this afternoon and we are happy to be in the fight with P-G. It is still icy in the corners, but we found those places without going off the road.”

5: Petter Solberg/Philip Mills
“The car is better now after a gearbox and differential change at Service. It is easier now in that stage in many places so I am quite happy with my time in there and I am happy with how the car is responding.”

2: Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
“It’s still very muddy and slippy. We slide in a few places so it is still not easy.”

7: Francois Duval/Denis Giraudet
“This morning we were slower but now it is improving even though the conditions are still quite slippy. We changed the springs and the car is handling better.”

14: Henning Solberg/Cato Menkarud
“There is still ice and mud but now the car is working as it should.”

3: Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
“We pushed hard in there and we went well. That was a perfect drive. We had some slides but it was very enjoyable.”

8: Matthew Wilson/Scott Martin
“There is a lot more mud now. I didn’t think we drove too bad but the time wasn’t good at all. Back to the drawing board on that one.”

11: Toni Gardemeister/Tomi Tuominen
“We lost a bit of time there to Henning (Solberg), so not too good. We have good grip but not enough power.”

20: Barry Clark/Paul Nagle
“A bit cleaner and neater in there, but perhaps not quick enough - although we are taking it steady.”

16: Conrad Rautenbach/David Senior
“I didn’t have any problems at all but it is still really slippery.”

19: Khalid Al Qassimi/Michael Orr
“There were a couple of corners where the car slid a lot. It is so hard, especially under the trees. I have to learn these conditions, but it is so difficult.”

22: Gareth Jones/Clive Jenkins
“Better than this morning. We set a good time so I am smiling. The plan now is to just enjoy it. We have reverted the car to all the settings we started with.”

23: Steve Perez/Paul Spooner
“Good in there, but slippery. Who needs to go to Norway or Sweden when you’ve got Rally GB? We don’t have snow banks, but plenty of mud banks!”

46: Valentino Rossi/Carlo Cassina
“Very good. We go a lot faster than the first time. We are happy – this stage is fantastic! We try to get a good speed and I am getting a good feeling with the car.”

60: Guy Wilks/Phil Pugh
“A lot cleaner but still on the cautious side for me. Better to be that than taking too many risks. I want to get to the end of the leg and reassess the situation. I am not so worried about the P-WRC but more concerned about the British Championship.”

44: Patrik Flodin/Goran Bergsten
“A am smiling now and hope I am setting better times. The car and suspension is working so well now.”

41: Andreas Aigner/Klaus Wicha
“Little bit better – easier to control the car and keep to the line. We now know where the tricky places are and I enjoyed it more this time.”

55: Patrik Sandell/Emil Axelsson
“I really liked that second run. You just have top try and take the line and keep out of trouble. We keep going like this.”

32: Mirco Baldacci/Giovani Agnese
“We lost some time but I don’t know why. We must have some kind of a problem with the car, so we will have a look.”

146: Jari Ketomaa/Miika Teiskonen
“The sun is a bit difficult but not too bad. Slightly better in there but I don’t have good confidence in the car. There are so many things to be changed but I don’t know what to do. The rear brakes are locking and the dampers are no good.”

97: David Harrison/Glyn Thomas
“I overshot a junction just before the finish and lost 15 seconds.”

91: David Matthews/Ian Harraway
“We had an eventful stage. We came through the finish with smoke billowing from the bonnet but it was just smoke from oil dripping onto the manifold. Car 85 (Nathan O'Connor/Jessica Rogan) let us pass in stage, for which we are grateful for such impeccable drving manners.”

98: Darren Jones/Paul Burley
“We have the cleanest car here because we are driving the slowest!”

79: Andrew Hockridge/Rich Mills
“We crunched up the right hand side in Crychan so are looking after the rest of the car better.”

84: Burcu Cetinkaya/Cicek Gumey
“We went off two kilometres before the end when I hit a rock. The steering wheel just turned and caused me to go off the stage. I have never rallied in weather like this – I am happy the sun is out now.”

87: Tony Jardine/David Smith
“The co-driver turned over the wrong page of the notes in there and so we totally lost our rhythm and got a bit rattled.”

81: Emre Yurdakul/Can Erkal
“The light pod is hanging off the front of the car by just the wiring! I am surprised it has lasted 15kms!”

94: Thomas Cave/Gemma Price
“It was much cleaner this time after going wide and hitting a bank this morning on the same stage.”

76: Jason Pritchard/George Gwynn
“The intercom is working now after packing up this morning so we are more relaxed with the world.”

72: Ryan Champion/Anders Howard
“It all started to come back to me now on that stage. I am driving better, but I wouldn’t say I am driving well.”

62: Mattias Therman/Janne Perala
“It was harder for me this afternoon. Ryan Champion passed me earlier in this stage this afternoon than he did this morning. Either I am going slower or he is quicker!”

69: Daniel Unger/Sebastian Itu
“Better grip now, much happier.”

67: Hermann Gassner Junior/Katherina Wuestenhagen
“The car does what I want it to do now and the settings are right for the stages.”

37: Spyros Pavlides/Steve Lancaster
“Suffering braking problems at the moment, not nice.”
