Liderul raliului Tapio Laukkanen a declarat: " prima proba a fost alunecoasa, iar a doua cu foarte mult noroi. In asemenea conditii este greu foarte usor sa faci o greseala, dar nu ma plang pentru ca toata lumea are acelasi probleme. Pentru a doua bucla stiu acum care este ritmul si vom merge pentru a ne pastra avantajul si pentru a supravietui. Maine urmeaza probele de viteza si care vor face diferenta".

The rally leader Tapio Laukkanen is pleased with his speed in the first loop. " The first stage was slippery and the second one with a lot of mud. In these conditions is very easy to make a mistake but I am not complaining as it is the same for everybody. I know now the level of speed and we will try to consolidate our advance and to survive. Tommorow the fast stages will make the difference".  

Leu - abandon in service. In prima proba a pierdut treptele de viteza 2 si 3, iar in speciala secunda defect la coloana volan si diferential spate. Echipa tehnica a incercat remedierea defectiunii, dar a depasit timpul admis de intarziere in parcul de service.
