Citroën Junior Team's Sébastien Ogier left the final morning's service five minutes late, getting a time penalty that dropped him behind Ford's Latvala.

Ford used Mikko Hirvonen – who had retired on the first day, and was returning under SupeRally conditions – as their hand, to leave service early so he jumped up the running order.

[2] Citroën countered by making Ogier check into the time control at SS14 eight minutes early, to road sweep ahead of Loeb.

[4] In the SWRC, Xavier Pons won his second consecutive event, and again managed to break into the top ten placings in the overall standings.

Sweden victor Per-Gunnar Andersson finished third ahead of Nasser Al-Attiyah, Patrik Sandell and Jari Ketomaa.
