Comments:
Loeb:  It was difficult. I did not make any big mistake but driving was not good. Maybe in place where you can lose the car and you are a bit careful. Difficult to find good rhythm and stay on the road.
Ogier:  I am very happy, I still have problem with shifting, but service is coming and I am sure we will fix it.
Ostberg: I had alarm through the stage, it is quite annoying. I tried to push. I cannot do 100%, I am trying all I can. It is trouble for me now, I lost too much time.
Hirvonen: Big improvement, we stayed on the road...
Sordo:  It was difficult, this stage a little bit less. I change some clicks on suspension. I have more confidence, I have good feeling.
Latvala:  It was much better than in the second stage this morning. I change set-up and had lot more confident to drive. I am happy I am starting to get my confidence back.
Tidemans:  We are happy, with good rhythm, no mistakes. For sure it is my first world rally with WRC car. It is so loose and slippy.
