Service K - Imperia: Top three speak

Gilles Panizzi (Peugeot), rally winner: "I'm delighted, but it's been a difficult afternoon. I thought when Bugalski and Puras retired (on Saturday) it would get easier, but Sebastien kept trying to the very end. He has done a good drive

"Today was more difficult because of the conditions. It was very slippery in places and it would have been easy to go off. I'm looking forward to Corsica because I know we have a good setting for there as well."

(Citroen) - second, +11.4s: "The rally has gone very well. I'd like to think we've surprised Gilles a few times, especially on the longer stages and this morning. I came here with a cautious mood, but soon discovered we could do better and better times."

(Peugeot) - third, +43.5s: "I've never seen asphalt as slippery as the last two stages. There were leaves, there was standing water - even chestnut shells which made it all very greasy. I could have tried to chase after Sebastien but it didn't seem to be worth the risks because we scored the same points for Peugeot anyway."
