FLASH INFO
SS6 Lankamaa
24.87kms
Safety car crews are reporting that the road is in a very good condition. There are a lot of spectators in the stage, especially in the first five kms. One Batman and three Father Christmases have been spotted.
1: Sebastien Loeb/Daniel Elena
"No change. It was very dry and slippery. I think I´m cleaning the road now."
2: Sebastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia
"It´s a big advantage to be driving second in this stage. Loeb´s lines were helping me a bit. The guys behind me are faster but I´m quite happy."
4: Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila
"It´s a great stage. There are still a couple of slippery places. We did quite well considering I haven´t done this one for four years. I braked a bit too early in some places. I knew the guys in the front would suffer a bit and running third on the road would give me a slight advantage."
7: Dani Sordo/Marc Marti
"It was slippery and narrow. I didn´t really like it."
5: Matthew Wilson/Scott Martin
Wilson seems to have some problems with the steering. "The car feels different from what it was in the morning. I´m happy to have got through this one safely."
6: Henning Solberg/Ilka Minor
"I had some problems but they were my mistakes. I am quite happy. I´ve changed the tyres - they are the big black ones now!"
8: Kimi Räikkönen/Kaj Lindström
"It was a very nice stage but quite difficult."
15: Mads Östberg/ Jonas Andersson
"I liked it. You don´t see the corners - you just have to receive the messages from the co-driver."
12: Juha Kankkunen/Juha Repo
"I took it a bit carefully. It´s my home stage and I enjoyed every metre. Every place was packed with spectators."
17: Mattias Therman/Janne Perälä
"It was really wild. I really had to work hard. I´ve been told I´ve done Lankamaa before but I can´t recall that."
27: Janne Tuohino/Marko Sallinen
"This is an absolutely brilliant stage. I don´t know about my time but it was really fun to drive. Judging by the watch, I should drive faster."
51: Juho Hänninen/Mikko Markkula
"I lost the rhythm now that Ketomaa is not in front of us."
52: Matti Rantanen/Mikko Lukka
"I hit the rear onto the banks in some places."
