2. leg | |||||||
SS3 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Le Motty 1 (24.63 km) | 19:29.7 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | 75.8 | 0.48 | 34:59.2 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | |
"I'm sure we lost one minute near the end. There was a section of Tarmac but you can't use it - it's so cold the tyres have no heat in them." | |||||||
SS4 Aspres-lès-Corps - Chaillol 1 (38.94 km) | 26:12.3 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | 89.2 | 0.78 | 1:01:11.5 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | |
"My suspension is too stiff. We had a problem with the engine this morning - it didn't start. The team engineers fixed in service but that meant there wasn't enough time to adjust the suspension." | |||||||
SS5 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 1 (16.83 km) | 11:34.5 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | 87.2 | 0.73 | 1:12:46.0 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"Better now we have more tarmac on the road - but it's not been easy. We pushed the car out of parc ferme when it didn't start this morning - the team only got it going with two minute to spare. We have a misfire in the engine and the wrong set-up." | |||||||
SS6 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Le Motty 2 (24.63 km) | 18:32.1 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | 79.7 | 0.91 | 1:31:18.1 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"We had a problem with the fuel on the road section. I was a bit stressed when I started the stage and I stalled on a hairpin." | |||||||
SS7 Aspres-lès-Corps - Chaillol 2 (38.94 km) | 24:33.8 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | 95.1 | 0.41 | 1:55:51.9 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"I'm pleased. This was the first stage today when I was focused only on the driving. No other issues. I'm really pleased with the car - it has lots of performance and a lot of potential." | |||||||
SS8 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 2 (16.83 km) | 11:42.4 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 86.3 | 2.20 | 2:07:34.3 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"I spun in a very, very icy corner and had to reverse. We lost 10 sec there. Later on another hairpin I had a half spin. I think I lost about 20 seconds in today." | |||||||
3. leg | |||||||
SS9 Lardier-et-Valença - Oze 1 (31.17 km) | 24:38.0 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 75.9 | 1.13 | 2:32:12.3 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"I think I made a mistake here. I pushed too hard in the beginning on the dry Tarmac and I killed the studs before the ice." | |||||||
SS10 La Bâtie-Montsaléon - Faye 1 (16.78 km) | 9:22.3 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | 107.4 | 0.42 | 2:41:34.6 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"Very disappointed. It is not going as I wanted. I don't know what is wrong but I thought I was driving well on this stage." | |||||||
SS11 Lardier-et-Valença - Oze 2 (31.17 km) | 23:07.4 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | 80.9 | 0.46 | 3:04:42.0 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"We adjusted the [differential ] pre-load and my driving. Last time here I started too fast and aggressive. Now I calm down on the Tarmac section and went better on the ice. I am happy with the stage." | |||||||
SS12 La Bâtie-Montsaléon - Faye 2 (16.78 km) | 9:12.6 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | 109.3 | 0.95 | 3:13:54.6 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
"The afternoon has been better than the morning. I pushed maybe too hard in here - there were a few mistakes." | |||||||
SS13 Bayons - Bréziers 2 (25.49 km) | 14:36.7 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | 104.7 | 0.36 | 3:28:31.3 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | |
"Quite pleased with the time but it looks like Elfyn Evans is flying." | |||||||
4. leg | |||||||

"Good I tried to be easy on the super soft tyres. I need them for the next stage. The car felt good." | |||||||
SS15 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 1 (21.36 km) | 14:12.7 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 90.2 | 1.01 | 3:46:20.8 | 2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC | |
"I knew this dry stage would be hard on the tyres. I've never been so gentle on my tyres before. I tried to do everything to save them. I didn't use the handbrake." | |||||||
SS17 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 2 [Power Stage] (21.36 km) | 15:57.8 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | 80.3 | 4.84 | 4:02:18.6 | 2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC | |
"It's amazing. First time on a rally and to finish second is amazing. I'm really grateful to the team. They have done a fantastic effort and really deserve it. And I'm in a rally car made in Finland too!" |
