Sébastien Loeb is pleased with his top 10 position overall, just 3 minutes off the lead.

"We need to get used again to long specials like this. It's been a while. But overall, it went well. A couple of small punctures at the start cost us a bit of time, but in the end it's fine. We're three minutes back in the overall. We didn't want to push for time today given tomorrow's conditions, so for us, it's perfect."
