Monte Carlo ralli - 2.päev
Moderaatorid: KAIKUL, Jaanus, Strike, jagr, Erki
nii et ei mingit jama, asi muutub juba järgmine etapp, vaadake Pirelli kruusarallisid 
Loix oli autot saanud testida eelmisel aastal kõvasti enne, kui sellega tegi esimese ralli. Markko pole nii palju testikilomeetrid saanud sõita.arz kirjutas:Tänase Märtini sõidu järgi tekkis mul huvi vaadata, millega Loix eelmine aasta algul hakkama sai. Igatahes tundub, et palju palju paremini kui Märtin nyyd 307. Kuid juba selle sõidu järgi sai Loix meie käest uut ja vana tunda. Nii et naljakas oli vaadata, praegu räägitaxe et masin vajab harjumist, rehvid vajavad harjumist, võistkond vajab harjumist. Samas kõike seda vajas ju Loix ka. Teada, mida Märtini sõidust väljaspool Eestit elavad inimesed arvavad. peaasi et Märtinit Loixi staatus ei taba ...
Loix kui sõitis olid 307 all Michelinid, nüüd kui sõidab Markko on seal Pirelli. Ärge siis meest kohe maha ka kandke, et esimene ralli kohe uues meeskonnas ei õnnestu. Andke mehel aega "atra" seada ja küll need tulemused juba kruusal tulema hakkavad. Markko on 101% maailma 4 parima rallipiloodi hulgas hetkel maailmas.
Burns ei harjunud 206ga üldse ära ja ei suutnudki selle autoga võita terve hooaja jooksul. Seega rahu ainult rahu ja küll see esimene tagasihoidlik tulemus saab pärast kuhjaga häid tulemusi.
Mina isiklikult olen Markko sõiduga igati rahul hetkel.

Sõitjate kommentaarid pärast Leg2'te:
Sébastien Loeb / Daniel Elena: "It has been a very difficult and strange day, especially after Francois retired. In some ways there isn't so much pressure without him there but in others ways that makes it more difficult because, when you have a big lead, you don't know how hard to push. Tomorrow I'm just going to have to keep my concentration and focus on getting to the finish."
Petter Solberg / Phil Mills: "Well, today has been much better and I'm quite pleased actually with the performance. The car has been very good to drive on the stages, and the harder compound tyres have suited my driving very well. Loeb is a long way away, but we're getting closer to the people in front, so we will have to see what we can do tomorrow. It's going to be a very interesting last day I think, a good battle with Gardemeister and Panizzi, I'm looking forward to it."
Stephane Sazzazin/Patrick Pivato: "I'm disappointed because I had a good feeling with car, I was driving well and then a small mistake had such a big effect. I'm more sorry for the team than myself, because it's my first race and it could have been possible to get points. I'm lucky to have the re-start system, and tomorrow I will concentrate on learning more about my car and the set up to improve myself. Of course it's still very new, so I'm not pushing at 100 per cent just yet, but I want to be fast and the target is to push for improvement. We saw a good split after a few stages today, and I'm hoping to do the same tomorrow."
Toni Gardemeister/Jakke Honkanen: "It has been a good day and I'm becoming more comfortable with the car all the time. I'm learning from my mistakes and the car feels easy to drive. Tomorrow I'll try hard to keep Solberg behind me but it will not be easy. He has a lot more experience of his car than I do of mine."
Roman Kresta/Jan Tomanek: "Everything felt much better this morning. I felt much happier than yesterday and had more confidence. The roads were quite slippery in places. There were constant changes in surface from wet and slippery sections to dry and abrasive asphalt, and that was the most difficult part.
Marcus Gronhölm / Timo Rautiainen: "On the first seven kilometres of the opening stage the road was very icy, so I drove carefully. We've had a good day today although it has been extremely tricky with the various incidents that interrupted the leg: it was actually quite boring for us. But I am still very pleased to be in second place, which is my best-ever performance on the Monte Carlo Rally. My plan for tomorrow is just to keep going at this pace and finish on the podium. That would be a good way to start the year!"
Markko Martin/Michael Park: "I learnt a lot about the car and the tyres today but there is still a long way to go before I am completely comfortable. I was not entirely sure about my tyre choice in the morning, and in the afternoon I think my suspension set-up was too hard, as the car was very difficult to drive over the crests on SS9. I still need to familiarise myself with the dimensions of the 307WRC, so I thought that the best tactic was to drive safely in order to make sure of reaching the end of a tricky day."
Armin Schwarz/Klaus Wicha: "The accident happened at a hairpin right near the end of the stage. We hit a stone wall on the inside of the corner and the car rolled before dropping two or three metres down over the edge of the road. I am fine but Armin hurt his left shoulder and went to hospital for precautionary checks."
Alex Bengue/Caroline Escudero: "I made some small changes to stiffen the suspension this morning and the car was immediately much better balanced than yesterday. I could be really confident on the dry roads and that is why I was able to be so much quicker. We had some good luck because on SS6 I got two punctures but thanks to Michelin's ATS mousse I was still able to score my first two scratch times at WRC level."
Harri Rovanpera/Risto Pietiläinen: "We have had quite an okay day, a few small problems but nothing major. At the beginning of the last stage the car got away from me on some gravel in a corner and we went wide and hit a wall, just damaging the back-end. After that, I wasn't prepared to take any risks in the darkness. I'm learning a lot and looking to the future; I will bring the car to the finish tomorrow and maybe a result will be there too."
Gilles Panizzi/Herve Panizzi: I said yesterday that if we get a clean run, we can prove that Mitsubishi is back! I am so happy; that result was so necessary for everyone. Before our fastest time I was very content to be repeating our fourth fastest time; that was great and it really proved something. To have then achieved what we did this afternoon was something special for the team and I am more and more confident.
