#58 Efthymios CHALKIAS / Nikolaos KOMNOS
“It was a very hard day. Not so much physically, but mostly spiritually. It was so hard to stay focused and try to avoid all these rocks. I have never experienced something like this. You try to combine survival with speed. Very difficult.”
#60 Stefanos THEOCHAROPOULOS / Georgios KOTSALIS
“It was very hard and very hot. The second pass from Aghii Theodoroi was like hell! Proper Acropolis.”
#64 Mille JOHANSSON / Johan GRÖNVALL
“It was a very long day and very hot. It was like a sauna in the car. The stages were also very rough, so it’s not easy. We also had some problems with the car. The temperature got very high and in addition we had two punctures. It could be worse though. We are here and we are second. It’s still a long Rally and I’m looking forward for the next stage.”
#68 Ali TÜRKKAN / Oytun ALBAYRAK
We are leading the JWRC and WRC3. We were fast, we won stages, but the night stage was horrible. We caught the car in front of us and we couldn’t see in the dust. The most difficult day of the Rally is behind us and tomorrow we will be in more enjoyable stages. We want to push in the first pass, because the second is very rough for our cars.”
#70 Max SMART / Malcolm READ
“We knew it was going to be rough, but we had a positive attitude the whole day and we had a lot of fun. We are 4th in JWRC and a few seconds behind 3rd, so we are very happy that we are in the fight. We want to keep the same momentum. Drive fast and protect the car in the second pass.”
#71 Diego DOMÍNGUEZ / Rogelio PEÑATE
“It was a very long day. We had some issues with the car, with the pacenotes, but overall it’s OK. We are 3rd in JWRC and we are very pleased. Now we want to rest and get ready for tomorrow.”
#73 Ioannis PLAGOS / Christos KOUZIONIS
“It’s important to survive and I am happy to be here. Tomorrow is a different day, a different Rally.”
#78 Savvas LEFKADITIS / Evangelos AKRATOS
“It was an exhausting day for us. The only thing is that the stages were a little better than we expected. We had a fast rhythm in the beginning, but then we kept it steady, because the Rally is long. Tomorrow we will follow the same strategy.”
