02.07.2017 13:07 23 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm really happy. We've been strong in the last couple of rallies. Our main goal was to catch points on Ogier and we've done two events in a row. Closing up the gap is a good achievement. He's still the man to beat. For the last five rallies we've had to battle until the very last part of event stage. It was really, really tough. Here I was happy to finish the last stage a bit more relaxed with a bigger margin. The end of the championship will be really interesting and tough.
02.07.2017 11:07 22 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): One more stage to go. I took it quite calm in here compared to this morning. I felt well. I won't push on the Power Stage. There is no need to take risks. After previous stage I congratulated to Ott for the job he did before the crash. He is one driver that is hard to beat.
02.07.2017 09:07 21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I'm sorry for him. He did an unbelievable rally. Many people in here told me he was going to go off so I took it steady in here and I managed. It feels good.
02.07.2017 09:07 20 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's ok. I didn't take any risks in this one. Fast and smooth. I could have done more but in these conditions I didn't want to go off. I will continue in my rhythm and let's see where it gets us.
