Comments after SS 6:
Hirvonen: “The start of the stage was not good at all but the rest was okay so we will see what happens. I hope we will have a bit of a fight because Dani is not so far away.”
“We changed a bit the set-up and I was much more confident in the afternoon. I pushed really hard and there were no mistakes. It is very close with Mikko and there is a long way to go.”
Loeb: “The visibility was coming down and I lost a bit of confidence because it was very slippery in some places, not easy.”
