Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja won the rally, their first of the season. Their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, were the manufacturer's winners.[8] Nikolay Gryazin and Konstantin Aleksandrov won the World Rally Championship-2 category.[9] Jan Černý and Tomáš Střeska won the World Rally Championship-3 category.[10]
