Latvala stopped 13 km after the start of SS 14 Klenia Mycenae 2 (17.41km) due too puncture. Latvala hit a bank that causes him delay of more than 3 minutes and 24 seconds. He stopped and changes the wheel. Latvala was at 2.2 seconds by the leader Sebastien Loeb as his chances for the first place are over.
Latvala said: “It was my mistake. I was slightly wide at the beginning of the stage and hit a bank. There was a little touch but there was something sharp [in the bank] and it broke the tyre. It’s very disappointing. Normally with a slow puncture I should be able to drive for quite a long time but unfortunately I broke the wheel and we had to stop to change it.”

Results after SS 14:
1. S. Loeb 3:15:47.6
2. P. Solberg +21.9
3. M. Hirvonen +1:11.8
4. J. Latvala +3:26.6
