Author of two best times, the Spaniard beat Mikko Hirvonen thanks to a scratch in the last special stage and took advantage of Sébastien's errors Loeb : “I attacked all day to finally let go of these precious seconds in two hairpins. Sixteen seconds late, it?s not insurmountable but it?s more than I would have liked. »

Without the support of intermediate times in the last stage, Mikko Hirvonen rode at his own pace without using tactics: “I would have liked to place behind Sébastien but the split-time system didn't work. We will see how the race goes tomorrow. Sébastien and Dani are very fast? »
