Wiegand: It's better than before, but there still remains dust in the air. We had one or two little moments, but no big thing.
Mikkelsen: It was fantastic stage. So many people with fires around the road! It was OK for us. We need the victory.
Flodin: It was difficult day. What to say? I want to go home and sleep and tomorrow push like hell! It's nice rally, I enjoy the car, but it's difficult to drive in the dust. We had to turn off the lights, then we lost the pacenotes...
Decelour: It's so difficult! It's shame, because the stages are beautiful, but you can't push, because the visibility is very bad. I hope it will be better tomorrow!
Tempestini: The car was very nervous, I don't know. Maybe something with dampers. Still lot of dust.
Burri: We had another puncture, but I liked the stage.
Porcisteanu: Fantastic stage, but we had again problems with dust. I want to thank to the spectators to come here!
