#69 Kalle ROVANPERÄ / Jonne HALTTUNEN
“it’s a big relief. After Rally Finland we needed a comeback. Big thanks to the team, the car is super strong and fast. I went for the fastest time in here and we done it.”

#33 Elfyn EVANS / Scott MARTIN
“Looks like it wasn’t bad run. Definitely Dani pushed. We needed the second place and also the power stage points. Kalle is very strong, but the fight is on.”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE
“I don’t know. It’s cleaning a bit. But with the road position we had and the tyres left I think it’s a good time. We did everything we can. Luck wasn’t with us this weekend. Everything was perfect until that hole yesterday which cost us a victory.”

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA
“The fast ones are coming behind. I did everything I can but I don’t thing is enough. After Friday and the penalty everyone it the team were devastated. We came back and the decision to take the big penalty paid off.”

#17 Sebástien OGIER / Vincent LANDAIS
“I just want to go home. There is not much to say. Now. Sometimes in rallying is like this. This weekend we didn’t have luck on our side. We have to move to next one. Probably the Central Europe Rally.”

#4 Esapekka LAPPI / Janne FERM
“I made some small mistakes, but I was aggressive. It wasn’t our weekend. Next time we will be better.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA / Aaron JOHNSTON
“I was making to many mistakes and I was losing time. Car is working fin, but I have to drive better on the limit. Thanks for the team to bringing me here. I will try to do better in Chile.”

#6 Daniel SORDO / Cándido CARRERA
“I try everything. Elfyn had a little bad luck this weekend also. I am not really happy with my performance, but we get third place. Today I drove well and I enjoyed.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS / Frederic MICLOTTE
“It’s so nice. We are first Greek crew! We had a lot of fun. It was a fantastic week. Thanks to all the Greek fans for their support.”
