SS20 HANNULA
10.82kms

Another day of sunshine after yesterday´s opening rainstorms.

3: Mikko Hirvonen/Jarmo Lehtinen
"It was a very steady drive and no panic - just trying to keep my pace. I´d better go, my brakes are on fire again..."

1: Sebastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
"Driving carefully now, no problems. No push, no battle."

2: Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
"Jari-Matti is pushing well now and if he makes some mistakes maybe I can move up, but it´s not looking like that will happen. He´s now 12s ahead of me."

4: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila
"I am feeling good this morning, nearly perfect. I am just finding the right rhythm for the rest of the day."

10: Matti Rantanen/Mikko Lukka
"Now I am happy because we had a quite good stage with no major mistakes. I will try to do my best today and be better than yesterday."

12: Sebastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia
"It was quite good, and I think we take a few seconds off Matti Rantanen so I am happy."

16: Jari Ketomaa/Mika Stenberg
"I have been really enjoying the whole weekend. It has all worked so well, and has been really good for the whole team. We cannot go much faster and now we just want to finish in this position and enjoy the rest of the day."

5: Matthew Wilson/Scott Martin
"That was an awesome stage, my favourite of the rally. It´s got a little bit of everything - fast bends and tight corners. It was a real nice start to the morning."

8: Conrad Rautenbach/Daniel Barrit
"Nothing special from us, but a nice stage. The spectators make this rally special and the feeling with the car is nice, it´s just a shame we have had engine problems all weekend."

15: Khalid Al Qassimi/Michael Orr
"We started the morning well, and the car feels OK so far."

9: Federico Villagra/Jorge Perez Companc
"Very nice stage and no problems for us. The brakes get nice and hot here!"

6: Henning Solberg/Cato Menkerud
"We go as fast as we can on SupeRally and enjoyed that stage."

66: Juho Hanninen/Mikko Markkula
"It was a nice stage, some loose gravel in places but OK, nice start to the morning. The next stage will be very tricky, a lot of jumps..."

67: Anton Alen/Timo Alanne
"For us it was really pretty slippery but nothing special in there."

69: Janne Tuohino/Markku Tuohino
"It´s OK this morning but maybe a little bit slippy - we drive off the line in places and brake too much. We are just enjoying today."

68: Patrik Flodin/Maria Andersson
"So far so good. Not taking big risks now."

38: Martin Prokop/Jan Tomanek
"It was OK and a good drive. We didn´t slow down and are just keeping our same speed for the rest of the stages."
