Section:4
Special Stage:SS23 Great Orme Llandudno 2 (8.03 km)

31. Pontus Tidemand (SWE) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Skoda Fabia R5
It's been a tough weekend and I'm really happy. Kalle did a fantastic job on Friday and had a good pace here. I'm very happy to have second place.

36. Kalle Rovanperä (FIN) / Jonne Halttunen (FIN) - Skoda Fabia R5
It means a lot to win. We have been really fast in all the rallies this year and leading the last three rallies and now is our time. I'm really happy. We've prepared really well for this. Thanks for the team and all the mechanics and everything.

2. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
It started well for us on Friday unfortunatly it's one of those things. It's been a really long weekend. After the problem it's been difficult to enjoy the stages as much as I would have liked.

8. Ott Tänak (EST) / Martin Järveoja (EST) - Toyota Yaris WRC
Nothing too much to tell. Very disapointing for all the team and that's how it is. We will keep working.

10. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 WRC
It's been quite a difficult weekend. We never really had the luck with us which is a shame as we never really had the speed to fight for a top result. We are really close to get back up to the top but all the time, something happens. I'm a bit disappointed but at the same time I'm glad to see the speed is there and we can really win stages and really fight on every stage. We just need to get everything together.

6. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
Really looking forward to Australia now.

4. Andreas Mikkelsen (NOR) / Anders Jaeger (NOR) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
There are a lot of positives. I'm very happy to be at the finish.

5. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC
Not the weekend we were hoping for. I made a mistake being on the limit all the time. A little bit disappointed but we fought back to fifth place and have to be happy with that. The championship is not over yet.

11. Craig Breen (IRL) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Citroen C3 WRC
I'm happy with that. OK, I was a little too cautious in places but it's been a good weekend. I tried to give it all I could. We didn't have the speed and had to consolidate and finish fourth. I'm happy to finish the rally and looking forward to Spain.

9. Esapekka Lappi (FIN) / Janne Ferm (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
Still I need to learn, I'm really competitive. Yesterday I had a chance to fight for the win. Maybe next year.

7. Jari-Matti Latvala (FIN) / Miikka Anttila (FIN) - Toyota Yaris WRC
If you want to win on this stage you have to go quite hard and I didn't feel I could make it on this stage so I decided to get it back tot he finish. Sure I wanted to win but I wanted to get the manufacturer points. It's going to be very, very good for the confidence.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Ford Fiesta WRC
That was a huge weekend. It was such a tough fight. The Toyotas were very, very strong. First Ott was so far ahead then he had his trouble. Then we were fighting so hard with Jari. I didn't know if we could make it honestly. In the forest it was very difficult to stay in front. I think we did an amazing time on the second pass of the four stages. We found a pace that I liked and we did some good times. We are happy.

32. Gus Greensmith (GBR) / Alex Gelsomino (USA) - Ford Fiesta R5
It's a tough one. I enjoyed the fight with Pontus. It's good for the championship and it's a good fnish to the year.

37. Jari Huttunen (FIN) / Antti Linnaketo (FIN) - Hyundai i20 R5
It was quite a nice weekend. The stages are very nice.
