Quotes after Circus Maximus Trier

OLIVEIRA, Daniel / MAGALHÃES, Carlos: "That was a difficult rally - with no simple special stage at all. I learned a lot."

LATVALA, Jari-Matti / ANTTILA, Miikka: "It wasn't easy and a lot of things happened. I am satisfied with my result because for me it's the best place ever in a tarmac rally."

SOLBERG, Petter / PATTERSON, Chris: "That was quite slippery and very difficult to drive. That was not a good stage time for me."

HIRVONEN, Mikko / LEHTINEN, Jarmo: "A hard rally and I made some mistakes indeed. But we reached a podium place and that's good for us and the team. Especially if I got some extra points out of the power stage."

LOEB, Sébastien / ELENA, Daniel: "That was a hard and difficult rally. But it was going very well form me. In fact, it was a perfect weekend - and I like perfect weekends. I had a perfect WRC, that was very satisfying. My target was all the time to keep the car on the track - even on the very narrow stages. I like this rally very much - and it was a great moment at the finish to win the power stage too."

ÖSTBERG, Mads / ANDERSSON, Jonas: "I am very satisfied with my result. During the rally I forced my speed - especially from Friday to Saturday. Again I learnt a lot - and again I concentrated to be better on tarmac. Now I am looking for my chances in France. It should be possible for me to drive with the front runners there. Anyhow I will do everything for a good result in France."

ATKINSON, Chris / PRÈVOT, Stephane: "That was a hard rally with difficult conditions."

NEUVILLE, Thierry / GILSOUL, Nicolas: "That was a nice weekend. I always felt very happy. We don't understand clearly, what exactly happened yesterday. That was a pity - otherwise we would have had a chance to finish among the first three. Big thanks to the team, we will come back even stronger."

AL ATTIYAH, Nasser / BERNACCHINI, G.: "I am very happy. For this rally you need a lot of experience. Therefore I took no big risks."

OGIER, Sébastien / INGRASSIA, Julien: "Reaching sixth place with a Super2000 is a very good result indeed - and even with the seventh place for team mate Mikkelsen - a fantastic good result for Volkswagen-Motorsport."

SORDO, Daniel / DEL BARRIO, Carlos: "I was surprised that I had to start so early. Anyway it was a difficult rally and I am not satisfied at all. Especially in the two stages at Arena Panzerplatte I had some problems: First a puncture, than I was blocked. Now I am looking forward to the French round."
