Reflecting on the day's performance, Virves admitted that certain sections did not meet his expectations, citing an "incorrect balance" in some areas. However, he observed a significant improvement in grip during the second runs through the stages. "The grip was better on the second pass, and then it went properly," he stated. "Where it clicked even a little, we pushed hard."

Virves indicated that he is pushing to the limit, leaving no room for error or a relaxed approach. The conditions on the stages reportedly changed considerably, making the second pass faster. His strategy appears to be maximizing performance wherever the conditions allow, reflecting a determined effort to maintain his leading position.

There were some places where I wasn't satisfied at all, the balance is a bit off in some places. On the second pass, the grip was better, and then it went properly. Where it clicked even a little, we pushed hard. There's no giving in anywhere.
