Latvala comment stage 11: "It looked like at the beginning of the stage Mikko was already two seconds ahead of me, so I was slightly stressed at that moment. It was a part of the stage I have never driven very well. But after that I found a good rhythm on the fast, wider roads."
Mikko Hirvonen also comments the battle with his former teammate: "I'm trying to push really hard but obviously he can see my splits and he's definitely fighting back. I'll really, really try to keep pressure on him and go as fast as I can."
Mads Ostberg comment: "Out of service we had a puncture, just after tyre marking. I only have a used spare so we are running on the left rear with a previously used right hand tyre. I was a bit angry, so I pushed quite hard..."
Sebastien Loeb comments: "It was difficult to find the rhythm in this one, I was not so confidant. The grip was changing a lot with the snow."
