Comments after SS 9:
Loeb: "A lot of dust in this stage and I made two mistakes in the end. Generally, it was a good day."
Latvala: "It's been a reasonably good day. I started gaining back my driving in the afternoon. I try to catch him tomorrow but it's like in Finland, where the differences are in seconds!"
Solberg: "I have one spare now, I had two. It's not bad. A lot happened today, but it's ok. I am happy. I will try catching Loeb. It's a big and rough day and a lot can happen."
Hirvonen: "We had another puncture. I went wide in one corner, we hit a bank. I couldn't see from the dust of Ostberg."
Neuville: "I had a problem with the driveshaft and the car is rear wheel drive. I just took away the broken driveshaft. I wasn't carrying a spare one."
