#33 Elfyn EVANS - Scott MARTIN
“In the end we are happy finishing with our cleaning duties from yesterday. It’s easier to drive. The afternoon will be tricky with the second pass. Today's stages are mixed and pretty OK.”
#18 Takamoto KATSUTA - Aaron JOHNSTON
“Everything is going well. We tried to avoid punctures and mistakes yesterday. And we managed well. No big fight today, so try to manage the situation. Tomorrow we will push and try to gain some points.”
#99 Oliver SOLBERG - Elliott EDMONDSON
“Motivation is not a problem. I always try my best. The stages were very slippery today and I tried to get the experience. Tomorrow will also be tricky with our starting position on the road. But we have to accept it and try our best.”
#5 Sami PAJARI - Marko SALMINEN
“I think today the road in the stages is more fresh, because they have not been used in recent years.”
#1 Sébastien OGIER - Vincent LANDAIS
“My target is to compete on my own rhythm. Try to manage with myself, but somehow we are very close with Thierry (Neuville). It looks very tense, but the main thing is the same. Stay out of trouble. The afternoon will be rough.”
#16 Adrien FOURMAUX - Alexandre CORIA
“This morning was difficult. The differences in front and behind are big. Of course the gaps are small for Greece. I try to drive at my own pace. And we will try the same tomorrow. I am expecting that the stages in the afternoon will be like yesterday.”
#11 Thierry NEUVILLE - Martijn WYDAEGHE
“Similar to yesterday. Tough stages, but with different characteristics. Generally, the same flow and rhythm. I must say everything went well. The tough Rallies are the most enjoyable for me. You can’t be flat out all the time. You need to manage the car, the tyres and that’s what I like.”
#95 Jon ARMSTRONG - Shane BYRNE
“We set some good stage times in comparison with the guys in similar starting positions. Of course it is a different feeling from yesterday when we were setting faster times. But that’s the way it is. It’s a mix of stages, hard and sandy. The afternoon stages will be rough in the second pass.”
#6 Daniel SORDO - Cándido CARRERA
“It was complicated. The stages were slippery, it was difficult to get a good feeling with the car. Difficult to find a good rhythm.”
#55 Joshua MCERLEAN - Eoin TREACY
“Tricky situation for us. It was a good morning. It’s going to be a big challenge to keep Elfyn (Evans) behind. The road position is important, but still you have to manage it. The second pass will be rough with some loose rocks and it’s not going to be a walk in the park.”
#22 Mārtiņš SESKS - Renārs FRANCIS
“In the beginning we just tried to manage the tyres. After that we couldn’t understand why we lost so much time. We will try some things, but there is still something we need to find.”
#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS - Frédéric MICLOTTE
“We have a good morning. Of course we are cleaning the road, but we enjoy it. These stages are nice. I like Kolines, it was really fun. The stages in Peloponisos are amazing. Our objective was to be first among the Greek crews, but now it’s not possible. But you never know, we will try our best.”
#24 Alejandro CACHÓN - Borja ROZADA
“It was a bit more tricky than yesterday. All the stages are completely new, more slippery than yesterday.”
#26 Andreas MIKKELSEN - Jørn LISTERUD
“It’s been great so far. It started well yesterday and today we are finding our rhythm and drive fast, avoiding problems and punctures.”
#27 Robert VIRVES - Jakko VIILO
“It was an OK morning. In the first we tried to save the tyres, but it wasn't necessary.”
