Comments between Solberg and Ostberg:
Ostberg: "It's a good morning, we are pushing quite hard and it's working well, so we are happy."
P. Solberg: "I'm trying everything I can and he's driving very well. I made a couple of mistakes in there. We will try."
Latvala: "We have a good feeling. The first part of the stage didn't go so well, and after that I started to get the rhythm."
Hirvonen: "It is just about keeping second position now. We did some changes to the car in the morning to see if we can help tyre wear a little bit, but now it's quite difficult to drive and I don't have any confidence, so I'd rather keep my place now."
Loeb: "Hopefully we'll just finish this rally in this position now."
Mikko Hirvonen also comments that will try to safe the tyres and attack the Power Stage.
