Comments:
Loeb: "A huge lead, so again a very good day and no problems. We really had to go slow in this long stage because anything can happen in this one. We saw that in the first pass. Now we've finished the second day and it's looking good for tomorrow."
Latvala: "I wanted to win this stage. This stage was so important. He went very hard in the middle of the stage and at the end I made some little mistakes and I'm a little bit angry with myself."
Ostberg: "It was a big fight between us. He took lots of time off me. He pushed very hard in the beginning and we were equal on the splits until he crashed. We were pushing really hard and he must have done too.
Atkinson: "We knew if we ran at a solid pace then we were going to get a decent result. I didn't expect to be in fifth at the end of day two, but we'll take it."
