Service K - Te Kauwhata: Quotes

(Ford) - second, +21.6s: "It's still possible to catch Richard. We needed to take half a second per kilometre from him and we've taken more than that. That has put us in a position where we need to keep pushing."

(Ford) - third, +58.5s: "I feel ok. I will try to keep ahead of Harri [Rovanpera] now, but he and Marcus [Gronholm] are still very close. Everything is still possible."

(Peugeot) - fourth, +59.4s: "On the last stage I stalled the engine under braking for a very tight right-hander. It's also difficult because it's my first time over those stages and it is very slippery."

(Peugeot) - fifth, +1m10.8s: "I spun in the last stage trying to catch Carlos. It was a fast right-hander which went immediately into a left-hander. I had to find reverse and turn the car. It cost me at least 10 seconds."

(Mitsubishi) - seventh, +2m26.8s: He suffered a slow puncture to his left front tyre just 300m into the 31km stage (SS18)

(Subaru) - eighth, +2m39.7s: "I should have chosen the narrow tyre instead of the wide one. I had a half-spin on the second stage - we went very sideways."
