Sebastien Loeb throttles back in stage 15 after Latvala delay with the puncture. That allow to Petter Solberg to take stage victory with 6.5 seconds to Loeb. Latvala lossed more than 36 seconds in stage 15 due too rear breaks failure.
In stage 15 is cloudy with 15 C as overall the weather is too cold and unusual for Greece.
Latvala: "We broke the rear caliper in the previous stage, so now we don't have rear brakes."
Solberg: "This is the worst stage of the Rally. It's like a proper Acropolis stage from the past. It's unbelievable. I just try to survive. There was no point in pushing and trying to be a hero. It's important for the Championship to be clever."
Loeb: It was very slippery with the wet stones. It was raining in the first part of the stage."
Hirvonen: "Really rough. I was trying to save the car. Since we manage to get here, it is perfect. I didn't push too much to close the gap from Petter."

1. S. Loeb 3:28:30.7
2. P. Solberg +15.5
3. M. Hirvonen +1:12.1
4. J. Latvala +3:56.8
