We are ready, car is ready, roads are ready, everything is ready, so let's go!

I feel relaxed, I feel good, the weather is nice, so at the moment the rally feeling is growing.

There will be maybe more pressure on Finnish drivers than on me, but still I'm happy to

be part of this team.

I believe I have all the tools to be competitive this weekend and definitely I will push hard

to get the best result out of this weekend.

The biggest challenge is obviously the characteristics of the road: big jumps, crazy jumps, and constantly

turning roads, so I think Finland itself is a challenge already.

This weekend we have 40 per cent of the roads are new, and there will be narrow sections

with the gravel, so I think these new parts will be the main challenge for everybody.

The shakedown over the first two runs was nice.

It felt very easy, not taking any risks.

Times were OK.

To start the rally in the city centre of Jyväskylä, it's always nice.

A lot of spectators will be there I think because the weather is really nice for a picnic.

Let's get started.

Definitely, the first city stage is actually quite a nice one.

It's pretty demanding, even some high-speed places, so it's a proper tarmac stage.

To turn a clean page and get a clean rally, that is the first step.

Be on the podium, second step.

And if everything goes well and I'm in the right mood, then the fight for the victory,

but that's the third step.

For sure, the target is to win again, but it's much more difficult than last year.
