Comments after SS 23:
Latvala: "Luckily I managed to take some time from Mikko. This gives a little more margin for the Power Stage. I have to be incredibly focused for this stage. We need this win for the team. I made one mistake, I have to get myself together for the finish now."
Hirvonen: "I had to give up quite early on this stage. It was so slippery and I had a couple of big moments. I did the first stage flat-out and destroyed my tyres, and okay Jari-Matti had a puncture, but then his tyres are much better for this stage. I can't fight against him now."
