Suspense was just incredible during this French edition of the World Rally Championship!
Stage 20: Haguenau 2 (5,74 km) Weather: drizzle Road conditions: roads are damp. 10. SORDO/DEL BARRIO: « We can never be satisfied to be second on a rally but I am happy that we fought during the entire weekend for the win. Today in front of Ogier it was very difficult.” 7. LATVALA/ANTTILA: « I am happy to be on the podium especially considering the road conditions and as it has not happened to me in a long time.” 8. OGIER/INGRASSIA: « Lots of emotions during that weekend! World Champion on Thursday, a great rise on Saturday and a win today. It’s just joy especially as the conditions were not easy.” 11. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL: « I am very disappointed as I believe I was the best performer over the entire rally. I feel sorry for the team because I think I could have won here. I believe I have proved my abilities this weekend.” 5. NOVIKOV/MINOR: « We could not have hoped for a better result. I drove safely without making mistakes.” 2. HIRVONEN/LEHTINEN: « I has been a difficult race for me: I was never in the best rhythm.” 4. OSTBERG/ANDERSSON: « I still have had strange troubles with the brakes. The balance of the brakes is weird. However I believe I have improved on asphalt and it’s promising for the Catalunya rally which is on mixt surfaces.” 9. MIKKELSEN/NAGLE: « I don’t have a great experience on asphalt. I still need to work and learn in order to manage this surface with a WRC.” 22. DUMAS/GIRAUDET: « I need more time to gain experience and improve. I am very happy with that weekend but I will work more for the next time.” 74. KUBICA/BARAN : « I am very happy to bring the car safely back without having made mistakes. I like that rally that I would like to drive again on dry surfaces.” 121. BAUD/CHIOSO : “I am happy to have finished. I think I did a good job on that rally. I am just sorry that we punctured this morning.” 75. EVANS/BARRITT: “ I have learnt a lot on this rally. I am quite happy of the performances we did yesterday. That’s what I will remember.” 52. GILBERT/JAMOUL : « It’s my very first victory in WRC3 and I have been hoping for that win for long. It has been a great weekend during which everything went well.” 51. CHARDONNET/DE LA HAYE : « It has not been an easy weekend facing Quentin (Gilbert). But this second place is enough for me to win the title in WRC3. Now I must finish the work and win the Citroën Top Driver Trophy.”
