J-ML:
I am really looking forward to it. He is very relaxed and a very nice guy. He helped me last year when I had some problems. If I asked him he would give me some information and tips on what I should do differently.

How do you think your rivals will get on this year, the likes of
Citroen and Subaru?
JM-L
I believe the Citroens will be very, very strong and also it will be interesting to see how the new
Subaru goes, when it comes in. It will be a hard battle with Ford and Citroen and I reckon Subaru will be there as well.
Suzuki is now coming in as a new team too. They will need some time to develop the car but I think the battle between the top three teams will be strong. I hope Suzuki is at some point up there as well.
Crash.net:
Recently it has been confirmed that the route for this year's Rally Finland, your home event, will be quite different. How do you feel about that?
J-ML
It seems some of the very famous stages will not be driven. But I am not so concerned about that. I know that area in the middle of Finland and there are a lot of good rally roads to use. If we don't use the very famous old stages there will still be some great stages anyway.
